This is a combination of 5 images, each of 480 seconds The images were taken with a Pictor 1616 attached to an LX200 10" F/4 telescope (F/6.3 with a 6.3 focal reducer). A Pictor 201XT was attached to an ETX for guiding. Each of the images was corrected with a dark frame and a flat field. After combining, the image was logarithmically stretched. Easily visible in the image are NGC 3185, NGC 3187, NGC 3190, and NGC 3193. Also visible as a small smudge is LEDA 86788. Unlike most of my images, north is to the left in this image.
