Nice! There are at least 7 more faint fuzzies in the background, and many of
the faintest blurry stars are probably galaxies too. Not bad for a remote
image!

Hi,
Well the monsoon season has arrived so I won't be doing much imaging for the
foreseeable future. I did manage to process an older image I forgot about.
This is a galaxy trio called The Draco Group. It is a trio of galaxies in
the constellation Draco. They are about 100 million light years from earth
and are comprised of two barred spiral galaxies; one face on (NGC 5985) and
the other edge on (NGC 5981). The third member of the trio is a face on
elliptical galaxy (NGC 5982). They are all about 100 million light years
from earth. In the picture the galaxies from left to right are NGC 5985, NGC
5982, and NGC 5981)
