Captured with QHY8 & 8"F4 Newt on HEQ5, guided with Phd, stacked with DSS and lightly processed with Photoshop Elements.
Only 7x3 mins because of technical problems.

Very nice image. It's not often you see a galaxy and a cluster in one image. I hope you can sort out the technical problems and revisit this target. It would be nice to see what more data can do.

Thanks Wim (and the others who liked)

I thought it was a good pairing - particularly as they look a similar size

I usually start off with an hours worth of 3 minute exposures but when I went to check, the mains power to the extension lead had cut out and it was too late to take any more that night.

Hopefully when I get another clear night and the moons out of the way I'll be able to take some more.
