A very, very impressive field.

I can see the circle that you speak of. To me it looks like there's a hollow section in the middle. I wonder if it's some kind of reflection of a bright star with the shadow of the secondary. If you have picked something up there, that's just nuts!

Cheers H...
there were a few dust motes noticeable when I initially put this image together and I saw this little sucker, that made me do some flats.... but this thing was still there after the flats were applied. Internet search has yielded nothing, very limited info on this area. Might even send it off to the big chaps and see if they have any thing on it.

Cheers for the comments Darrell... when I was processing, it was amazing the amount of galaxies that are actually there.

And the classic overlapping galaxies look amazing, one can even see the spiral sihouette overlapping the other one. A piece of art.

Thanks Rolf, there's a couple of receding spirals that are showing some structure which I thought was quite interesting as well.

There are many other galaxies that are part of this cluster that fall outside this frame but this is a nice size FOV to appreciate the hub of the activity and there are a lot of galaxies just in this area

Excellent result mate and it makes me hope and pray the newly arrived Orion AG12 performs to spec !

MIke

Hey Mike, thanks mate!
Yep, when I look at the amount in this group, I've only really covered about a third. Fantastic area for sure!!

I'm sure your scope will be a delight to use Mike. Have faith, and we all wait for it's first light!
