Chance alignment

I often point my telescope at random patches of sky seeking new quarry for much deeper exposures.

This field covering NGC3312, a relatively obscure galaxy in Hydra is certainly worthy of further investigation...

The hour was late, so I only managed a single 900 second exposure. But the gear was working well, the seeing was OK hence I was surprised to see so many faint-fuzzies with just a single happy-snap.

Weather permitting, the plan is to revisit this cluster with decidedly deeper and colourful interest
