Description

Hickson 61 of the Hickson 100.

This image was captured in March between bad weather nights. I acquired 85 subs over a 2 night period. Only 46 subs from the second night were used. The first nights images were a full arc/sec   larger  @ 3.5"  FWHM avg.

When viewed as a full frame the image reveals lots of smaller galaxies for sure, but I prefer to present  the BOX at its best viewing perspective. The galaxies range in size from

NGC4174 - 0.8' 
NGC4169 - 1.8'
NGC4175 - 1.8' 
NGC4173 - 5.0'
