Grus Triplet

Triple galaxies in Grus (a crane in Latin). NGC7582, NGC7590, NGC7599. There is another nearby but I can't fit it in (NGC7552). There are other smaller galaxies in the background. This is the full field size of the ASI183mm Pro and 8" F10 SCT. Only slightly cropped to chop off stacking overlaps.

LRGB image with Luminance = 232 minutes, Red = 100 minutes, Green = 96 minutes, Blue = 90 minutes all Bin2. Total 8.6 hours. This is my first image using luminance + RGB. Could do with more time at F10.

Bigger at Astrobin. ---> https://astrob.in/371878/0/
