NGC 5054 and galaxy group around NGC5044

Finally able to get some pictures at Wiruna--not as much exposure time as I would have liked, but grateful for what I got.

Tech details:

Plane Wave 12.5"CDK telescope with FLI Proline 16803 camera on AP900 mount.

Processed in PixInsight.

FOV 49' x 49'

It seems that NGC 5054 is not part of the galaxy group around the large elliptical galaxy NGC 5044. However, at some time in the past, NGC 5054 passed right through the group.
