Here is an image of NGC 1087, 1090, 1094 and a few other galaxies. The framing is a bit unfortunate as I didn't have a good set up for a little larger FOV - but I made it so they all fit. A full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Jim,
I'm a big fan for galaxy clusters, and it's rare to see them captured with such detail in the individual objects. Really good one.
