Of course, I can't not see Battlestar Galactica though....

Thanks Mike. We stole the composition from your excellent and inspiring shot. Before that, we didn't even know about the chain. Ours is a tiny bit of a mosaic to get the whole thing into the field of view. Love the Battlestar Galactica shot. Perfect match!

The chain of galaxies makes it even more interesting.

Thanks so much Allan. If it ever clears up again, it would be fun to try in H-alpha.
