hot - remote Abell GC 2079 in 15s exp !

[nytecam]

Thunderstorms yesterday afternoon cleared the London skies after dusk last night to a rare mag 4 and a brief session before cloud returned. 

Here's part of the gx cluster AGC 2079 in the glare of beta CrB [Northern Crown] in 15sec exp via my Meade LX200 30cm f/3.4 SCT + Lodestar-Mx2 + LodestarLive capture and annotated below.  This gx cluster @ 850MLY range eg slightly nearer than nearby AGC 2065 @~1BLY

Excellent stuff, especially with the moon up. I'd give this a go but it appears there are only 4 galaxies under mag 16 -- still, worth a shot and I can use your figure as an id chart ;-)
