Galaxy group around M87

Hi all
Not letting a near full moon stop me, with the cold dry westerlies giving a fairly transparent sky (for Newcastle) I got in an imaging run in the small window between astronomical twilight and moonrise. In fact the moon was just rising as I finished. Its the group of galaxies round M87 on the Vigo Coma Berenices boarder. Taken with the 6 inch F3.6 SN. Baader MPCC coma corrector. Hutech modded 350D. No filters used, so full spectrum and near IR allowed into camera
Air temperature 11 degrees, and very windy.
