This has always been a nice collection of galaxies to visit in Pavo.
Sometimes with a sketch it can be a bit confusing sorting out which
galaxies are which.
Hopefully I have got all their designations correct.

Now Scott that is what I call observing! 25″ under dark Aussie skies revealing an amazing cluster of galaxies.
Thanks for sharing Dale 🙂
Scott,
A real treat for those of us too far north.
