This is NGC 4566, a dim but loose globular cluster. I have attached a mid size thumbnail, but a full size image with exposure and processing data can be accessed at:

http://jthommes.com/Astro/NGC5466.htm

Look in the upper right corner for a couple of dim PGC galaxies.

Scope was my C8 at f/7.3, the camera was an Artemis285.

Exposure was 6x180 : 6x60 (L : RGB) Luminance was 1x1 binned RGBs were 2x2 binned. Total exposure time was 36 minutes.

Wonderful! (you even managed to capture a galaxy on top right corner!)
Tracking seems to be dead on too, as you got pinpoint stars across the field! wink

Thanks for sharing Jim!

[COLOR="Purple"]Nice Jim! I'll have to give this one a try visually.

Looks like another "faint fuzzy" down at the bottom of the frame too.
