Actually M105 and nearby NGC3384 and optically aligned NGC3389. The elipticals are not much to look at, but a grouping is interesting.

Nice shot Jim!
I like the bottom one the most, which shows some "detail" in the structure... the top ones are pretty much "featureless".

Thanks for sharing! 8)

Looks like something is staring back at me. Good work Jim.

Thanks for the comments guys...

Also, I wasn't real happy with the appearance of the ellipticals, I thought the cores were a bit blown out (such as they are). I tried a slight adjustment here. Also full size at:
