Grus Quintet of galaxies

Yes now there are five main galaxies

I recombined my data (the frame orienation changed between the two nights of imaging) and cropped and managed to include NGC 7632 (lower left corner of the image) along with the other 4 galaxies that make the famous Grus group

so Left to right the main galaxies are
NGC 7632 size: 2.4' mag 12.1
NGC 7599 size: 4.4' mag 11.4
NGC 7590 size: 2.7' mag 11.6
NGC 7582 size: 4.6' mag 10.6
NGC 7552 size: 3.5' mag 10.7

Not a real "re-process" just a bit of "re-fiddling"

38% size 1550 X 750 (1meg)

60% size 2250 X 1096 (1.8meg)

Or for warts and all, have a swim around the 100% size 3260 X 1588 (3.4meg)
