I've just spent a couple of months collecting data on part of the Antlia Galaxy Cluster. I ended up with 28.5 hours worth of data I used and a further 10 hours of Ha. Unfortunately I could not use the Ha data as it does not show the supernova remnant well enough. That will have to wait until next year for me to collect further data. I think it can be said that Rolf's effort in this field is epic.
There are a lot of galaxies in this field. Some part of the cluster but a lot much further out. Some are well red shifted and were beginning to show up well. I think I like NGC3269 the best though with its rings.
I did also manage to capture some IFN in the field as well as the faint beginnings of the supernova remnant to the lower left.

Yes the short fall of 120 hours would have a significant impact, though I reckon 70 might be a good figure to work towards in the coming years.
