Sort of near and quite far

This is something I have been collecting data on for about 4 nights in between cloud and rain. I am not yet decided if I really do have enough data, I am torn between gathering a massive amount of data to show the cirrus in the area or just be content with what I have now.

In any event these objects provide some interest within the field. The globular is NGC6752 which is supposed to be the third brightest globular in the night sky after Omega and 47 Tuc. It is quite bright as I used short subs for the core.

The galaxies are reasonably familiar to people. NGC6769, NGC6770 and NGC6771 are closely grouped galaxies. NGC6769 and NGC6770 are interacting with each other. The other galaxies of note are IC4845, IC4827 and IC4836. There are a multitude of other smaller background galaxies in the field too.

The image contains an integration of 8.9 hours.

I recommend looking at the larger image to see the detail of the objects.
