I have tried to image this group many times... still can't get it right. This is an image I took a month or so ago. I will probably go back and work on it again this winter with fresh eyes...

10" DSO Certified Newtonian
Losmandy Titan
ST2000 XM
100 min. Luminance (1x1), 30 min. each RGB (2x2)

BTW... I never could see the licking deer in this galaxy group...

Joe,

I think that looks pretty good, myself. I have also had problems with this neat little grouping.

Hi Joe,

You captured some nice detail and color there! I believe the name of the group comes from some star party at a location named "Deer Lick" wink

Nice image Joe! I can see the deer, but I am a little embarrassed to tell anyone what it is actually licking.... so I won't mention it! 8)

You don't really see the deer licking until you have really worked on the processing for many, many hours.

PS. Nice pic!
