I also got hooked on groups of galaxies recently, plus i really wanted to image galaxies that are normally too small or faint for most scopes to even resolve.

So i opted to give it a go and was very suprised just how well i did in the end given the short exposures.

I already have uploaded one image (NGC7549) on another thread, but i'll re upload it here as well, plus a couple of others i took that night too.

NGC-782 is 13th Mag and 2.1 arc minutes diameter

NGC-7546 is 15th Mag and 1 arc min diameter (face on spiral) not sure of other 2.

NGC7549 is 14th Mag and 2.9 arc min diameter (Barred spiral), the spiral edge on is 15th mag and 1.3 arc min, and the round galaxy is 14th Mag at 1.4 arc min.
Exposures were between 6 and 10 minutes, scope was a 22" f4.5, CCD was a SXV-H9.

Endless swarms of galaxies, just blows your mind.....
