A new one to me! Very nicely done. Is it a smidge out of focus?

Hi,

Thats really interesting I never knew there was a large galaxy and galaxy cluster near M33/31. ?  

Out of interest, what kit and exposure times did you use on this one? From astronomy.tools it looks like my fov with 10000d and 130pds may make this a good alternative target to m33.

Hi,

 I had NGC891 on my imaging list, but new little about the Abell classification.  Wikipedia seems incomplete, they dont list 347, but there was a nice apod i found with details. Thanks for piquing my curiosity

wondering if I got the 347 right now will check lol, kit was asi 1600 mono ED 80 scope, exposure was 120 x 30 secs LUM, 60 x 1 min of R, G and B for a total of 4 hrs ( though lost quite a few when processing)
