ngc 2768 is a lenticular Seyfert type galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It is the main member of the ngc 2768 group of galaxies, which also includes the smaller spiral galaxy at the top of the image, ngc 2816 or 2742. The latter seems to have two entries in the new general catalogue. The group is located about 60 - 70 million light years distant.
Right in between these two sits RM J091015.4+601901.2, a cluster of galaxies. This cluster is approximately 3 BLy distant.

This is an RGB image with added synthetic luminance. Total integration time: 8 hrs and 20 minutes (125 x 4 minutes subs). As usual, captured with the SkyWatcher 190MN and ASI294MM camera
