Description

Taken over five nights in early May, I managed to completely misalign this image of the region around galaxy NGC4151, but as i was two nights in before i could check any individual subs, i just kept going. 

NGC4151 is classed as a Seyfert galaxy and is one of the first to be demonstrated to have a super-massive black hole. It is approx 52m LY distant; i count 32 galaxies here.
