In this image nestling in the maidens arms lie about a dozen galaxies. Starting with M90 upper left. The huge elliptical M89 to its right and lower down right centre The stunning M58 all lying between 50 to 68 million light years away that's about double what the previous image of M95. I think I am going to need a new set of dark frames. I seem to have things right at the moment and was able to grab 5 minute autoguided exposures at Iso 800.
