Nice little galaxy group for larger aperures

[Stevec35]

Just thought I might post this short exposure of a galaxy group in Microscopium that I came upon by chance. This was only a test exposure but I might try for something better if the weather lets up. The spiral galaxy is IC5105A.

Cheers

Thats a neat field Steve

what scope/camera combination were you using? It would be good to get a feel for the size of the FOV

Thanks Pete. The field is about 23 x 35 arc minutes across (slightly cropped from full frame). It was taken with my recently acquired 36.8cm (14.5") F9 Ritchey Chretien and a STXL11002 CCD camera.
