The Grus Quartet

Second image from last night, The Grus Quartet. It's no Marco image but this is the first time I've imaged this group of four little galaxies. I've been meaning to for the last 25 years, but every time something would interrupt.

The Grus quartet consists of (from left to right) NGC7599, NGC7590, NGC7582 and NGC7552. There are other small, fainter galaxies in the background.

418 x 30 seconds, GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, HEQ5 Pro unguided, Baader MPCC MKIII, Pentax K-5.
