Description

This is the group of galaxies known as Hickson68 in LRGB.
The image is a crop from a project with NGC 5371.
NGC5350 is surely the most prominent Galaxy in this group. 
It is only about 2' x 3' in size. Very impressive it was discovered by William Herschel in 1788!
I used x2 drizzle integration and BlurX to get the most out of the good seeing at PixelSkies in Spain and my 10" Newt.
