Thanks M&T.. This lone frame is how the raw data pops-up on the screen from my setup, apart from flats and darks, there is not much one can do with a single frame of data.

I have to fess up...It wasn't a totally random point and shoot...I was aware of the Hydra galaxy cluster, but had no idea what was in it.
So many interesting galaxies!

Glad you liked it Tony. I often use the SkyX to point the telescope at various galaxy clusters
This one looks to need some focal length...and a run of clear nights !
