Hickson 68, in Canes Venatici

[Nicola]

Hello everybody,

Last April's new moon I shot this LRGB at the galaxy cluster Hickson 68 with my VISAC at f/6.3, the result is visible here: http://www.skymonsters.net/immagine.php?img=Hickson68.jpg

Excellent Nicola, I enjoyed having a good look at this group, a lovely variety of galaxies and the bright stars make it a striking image.

I particularly enjoyed the colour contrast, not only with the foreground stars but within and between the galaxies.

Thank you all for your kind comments, and certainly yes, Hicksons groups are really interesting because of the bestiary of different galaxy shape they contain. I'll definetely shoot some more of them in the future.
