Description

For a challenge on Nico Carver's discord we've been looking at some less-imaged parts of the sky. Here is a little group of galaxies in Cygnus.

A few of these are in the PGC catalogue, and others don't appear to be catalogued at all. As far as I can see nobody has tried imaging these on astrobin before. There's probably a good reason for this - they're absolutely tiny! I intermittently get the seeing to resolve at this sort of pixel scale, but I don't have much integration time at the moment (with no astronomical dark at all), so have to take what I get rather than be choosy over subs.
