A group of small roundish
galaxies, NGC3607 and 3608 are easy and obvious fuzzy stars. NGC 3599
is some
distance to the west and quite a bit fainter, only seen well when 50
video
frames were stacked. As a bonus, NGC 3605 also popped out in
processing, this
is a very small elliptical type near NGC 3607. |
