Galaxy triplet - NGC6769-71 The Devils Mask 35hrs

Another DSLR mega data image here, this time of the galaxy triplet NGC6769-71 in Pavo. Image data collected across 14 nights from Aug 31 to Sept 27th

Capture details:
Telescope: Vixen VC200L with f6.4 reducer
Camera: DIY modded Canon 1000D with regulated peltier cooling @ 10C
Guiding: Lacerta OAG with QHY5L-II
Mount: Skywatcher NEQ6
Exposure details: 211 x 10mins @ ISO1600

As well as the close-up crop and wide views, I also have here (just for fun) a comparison with an image from the VLT facility at Cerro Paranal, Chile.
