Great photo :smiley:

I observed this region with my 12" dob at the SGL star party in March. My view could not rival that image of course but I still thought seeing 10+ galaxies strung out in a single field of view pretty cool :cool:

It's an impressive pic. But it definitely lacks the magic of seeing this one in the flesh. When I first tracked it down earlier this year in my dob, I had one of my most memorable astro experiences. It seemed possible to tease out galaxy after galaxy and the view in a wide field eyepiece was breathtaking, filled with ghostly whisps. Much subtler than this pic, for sure, but somehow better.
