Hickson 68 and NGC 5371
This funky group on the right is Hickson 68, another compact galaxy cluster. The brighter star is HD 121197, a so-called orange dwarf. Over on the left the prominent separate spiral galaxy is NGC 5371. My image is made from the best 80% of several hours' worth of 20" exposures at Gain 300/Offset 10, gathered in the garden in Colchester UK on a ZWO ASI585MC camera with Baader Mk III MPCC coma corrector and ZWO UV/IR cut filter, on a Sky-Watcher Explorer 150p and EQ5 Pro mount, via Stellarmate Plus in Kstars/Ekos. Stacked in AstroPixelProcessor, cropped and adjusted in Lightroom, tweaked with Topaz DeNoise AI.
