Hi folks,

after a long time of abstinence a result. Did I say that I hate clouds and rain?

This is a nice group of galaxies in constellation Virgo. Each galaxy in it is somewhat distorted by the gravitational pull of the neighbours. Distance 65 Mio. lys.

Captured from my balcony with 10" f/4 newtonian and MoravianG2-8300FW, LRGB, 9x600s for every channel.

Wow, what a field! I'm not normally a fan of diffraction spikes, but these are perfect.
