NGC 3271, 3268, 3267 and PGC's to mag 19.0

OK, last image for the night...

Back to the galaxy clusters I enjoy photographing so much. This is the first time I have done one in colour. I'm quite happy with the result considering the relatively short exposure time (both individual and accumulative). I've spent a couple of hours processing this guy, working out a lot about LRGB imaging which is still quite new to me. In that time I was taking more images of the same field, some 20 min exposures. So I will do another version later with all the data.

10 minute exposures, 4 of L, 1 of each of RGB. I think I've got enough now to easily double that when I re-do it.

I haven't labelled the PGC's yet, might do later. There's a few around mag 18.5 - 18.9.
