Well done Adam,
that's amazing to pick such faint galaxies up from an orange zone.
Their magnitudes range from 11 to 14.


cheers
Allan

Nicely done.

I'd also observe an SCT and solid EQ mount is an excellent, cost effective galaxy imaging combination (I used a C11/Losmandy blissfully for many years) that seems to have fallen out of "fashion" but can clearly produce great results.
