Three Galaxies in Draco

NGC5982 Group
The Draco Trio

The Draco Trio is a group of three galaxies in the constellation of Draco, The Dragon.  They are located about 120-130 million light years away.

This image was captured over the winter 2019-2020.  I used my TEC140 refractor with Atik 460 CCD and Astrodon LRGB filters.  The luminance is four hours of 15 minute exposures binned 1×1 and the RGB one hour in each filter binned 2×2. Mount is MESU200 guided with OAG with a QHY5.
