About this image

Finally, at the end of April, we had a break in the clouds.

This galaxy group has been on my observing list for some time, and on the evening of 28th April, I spent a couple of hours gathering data.

The hours of astronomical darkness are rapidly diminishing, so few opportunities remain for imaging the deep sky this side of August.
