Great section of the sky, thanks for bring it to my attention David - so many galaxies, wow. I will have to have a look at it - when the skies allow - weather has not been so kind lately......

You have got a lot of data in your image for only 20 x 120sec subs.

I thought it was Markarian's chain (NGC 4438 etc) when I first looked at it... but Markarian's chain is more a wider FOV DSO - I have been looking for a galaxy cluster to image with my 8" - thanks again.
Clear skies.

Yes, about 60 - 70 galaxies in a square degree!
