NGC 6962 Multi-Galaxy Sys

This image of NGC 6962 is one of my first attempts to capture a multi-galaxy system. The upper frame is my MX-5C image and the lower frame is a screen capture from Megastar of the same region. The Megastar screen shows the galaxies as blue ellipses and stars down to 15th magnitude. The MX-5C image only shows the central core region of the galaxies. They appear as slightly fuzzy stars. The galaxies shown range in brightness from magnitude 13 to magnitude 14.7
