I've not been able to do much with my new working hours very early starts for me so I don't get many late nights any more, but I have been grabbing frames over three nights here and there managed to get enough to put this one together. Exposure times Luminance 6x20mins plus the RGB subs, red 3x20mins Green 3x14mins Blue 3x18mins. This pair are very small in the full frame so Ive cropped in to stop them disappearing into nothing.
and an extreme crop to show the core of 4725

Thanks for looking

Cracking image as usual Peter, you never disappoint,  is that another couple of small galaxies below the left one in the crop?

Thanks Eddy/Sheila, yep there is fluff all over the frame, including some really tiny but dense galaxy clusters with a beautiful golden tone to them, too small to see detail, but you can see they aint stars
