Description

I was hoping to have more data on this but I lost virtually a whole nights worth of data due to a cable snag after a meridian flip. Clouds have stopped any further data capture since then and now I'm out of astronomical darkness, so I'll have to wait until next year to gather more. Posting what I have so far with the aim to add to it next year.

I haven't cropped the image as there are so many beautiful little galaxies in the frame, such as the little triplet (NGC4440, NGC4436 and NGC4431) at the bottom edge of the frame; and the blue irregular galaxy in the lower right segment (IC3258).
