NGC 5965 and friends

Hi!

As my first image posted here, i want to show you a picture of NGC 5965 in constellation Draco.
It is a big spiral galaxy, which we see nearly from the edge. NGC 5963 in the neighborhood is about 4-5 times nearer than NGC 5965, so it has to be a much smaller galaxy.

NGC 5971 on the left side shows some signs of interaction with another galaxy.

The image was taken at the Gahberg observatory, Upper Austria, with a 10" f/4 Newtonian for Luminance and a 5" f/5 Newtonian for RGB at the same time.

Best regards, Markus
