Many cloudy nights at astrofest with only 2 nights worth imaging from when I arrived on the Tuesday. I'm trying to focus on trying to get more data for a single target as opposed to many targets with few data. Also wanted to try something new with a popular target but with a different framing. Focusing more on the galaxies in pavo surrounding the globular cluster rather than the cluster itself.
Theres some pretty nifty galaxies within the area, two of which seem to be an interacting galaxy that looks like a little love heart. Theres another diffuse (dwarf?) galaxy PGC2815824 that looks super faint and irregular in shape.
I ran the whole thing through PI image solver and image annotation script to get some catalogue names on the brighter galaxies.
Also the first time doing a full LRGB run with the ASI1600MM pro!
Acquisition details:
77x 5 min L
20x 5 min R
26x 5 min G
22x 5 min B
All shot at 0 gain (another experiment to see if theres much difference in shooting more shorter exposures or fewer longer exposures at lower gain, results are... inconclusive.)

here's the annoated full res
Thanks for looking!
