The hunt- I couldn't agree more .

And I've just realised I forgot another favourite of mine- Markarian's Chain in Coma Berenices. It's wicked! So many galaxies of different shapes and sizes- *bump* *bump* *bump* it's galaxy sky candy overload within a couple of degrees.
"The Eyes" (interacting galaxies) in particular is an incredible sight, almost spooky as I think they do look like eyes as there aren't any stars around them- just black sky.... whoa! Bless you part of that sky...
APOD- Markarian's Chain
