That's a lovely big field & so very full of galaxies, noice one mate.
Looks like three large clusters down the bottom of frame alright with loads more sprinkled around for good luck, all that from 5 hours worth...do we have an envious drool smiley?
You know Mike you should really go deep on Abell 1689 & do a supercluster some justice...hint, hint. 
A couple of galaxies trying to hide behind a star in the top right corner caught my eye, seems one of them goes by the name of 6dFGS gJ123539.4-110402...just rolls off the tongue, very romantic.
Oh yeah & M104 looks pretty good too. 
Here's hoping for some better seeing conditions for you. |
Yeah Justin I love images that you can go find stuff in
glad you had a surf around, always makes me go ooey and gooey seeing so many galaxies in the distance
.
I did the Centaurus Galaxy Cluster for my last and first image with this new camera actually. The seeing at my dark site is rarely very good though so going for small galaxies can be a little disapointing, I have 1.4"/pix resolution available with this setup but if the seeing is only 3-4 arc sec...weeellllll
I was pretty happy with the level of detail I was able to extract in M104 in the end but the techniques used here were useless for use on the rest of the image.
