NGC 5101 and its buddy

An attempt at this galaxy pair from a dark sky (albeit windy and with passing clouds) site in the southern Flinders ranges here in South Australia.

NGC 5101 and NGC 5078. About 7 hours of data (55:13:10:10 LRGB all at 5 mins) with an ASI1600MM-C and RC8 on an EQ6 with focal reducer down to 1200mm.

They form a nice contrasting pair of galaxies and this area seems especially rich in background galaxies.

Higher res available on Astrobin here.

Comments welcome.
