Grus quartet

[billdan]

These guys sit right over the top of Brisbane in the SE from me, so I had a lot of light pollution to eliminate.

5 Hours at the quartet, 20x900sec subs, with flats and darks applied.

Outstanding capture & nice framing!

That looks pretty good Bill. Nice detailing in the galaxies.

[Placidus]

Nice colour and detail.

Being able to squeeze in the big one at top right, which is very nicely photographed, adds a lot to the trio at bottom left.

Even in this 200K version, the field is studded with distant galaxies.

Well done!

That's very good, Bill. Much better than I would have expected through the lights of Brisvegas.

[Ryderscope]

Nice. Lovely detail in the galaxies.

Glad you could fit in all four galaxies, for me the face on spiral NGC 7552 is a clear winner in the beauty stakes and probably deserves more focus by galaxy shooters than the close trio do (they are a little on the boring side IMO)

Nice work :thumbsup:

Very nice Bill. Quite a lot of details in the galaxies. Well done. :thumbsup:

[Slawomir]

Looks great Bill :thumbsup:

I'm currently collecting data for the same area of the sky, right from the middle of Brisbane, so your very nice image will be a benchmark for me :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone for your appreciation.

NGC7552 would be great with a long focal length scope, should bring out a lot of detail.
Good luck Suavi with the light pollution.

That's a really nice image. I'd be very happy to get something that good.
