Cheers David.
I have added another 9hrs of data to this one.
Total is 14hrs now.

Thanks Allan.
Yes, lots of faint fuzzies in this field.

Hi Dave.

I don't have the answers to your questions, but I do know that the radial velocity of two of the three galaxies is about the same, whereas the third is moving away at a faster rate. Seems to show that at some point it has been 'flung' around the others & is now moving away from them.
