Managed to finish this one earlier in the week despite the weather.  See full details here: https://www.astrobin.com/4tr7ed/E/

There are again a myriad of small galaxies in the wide field version, including compact group Hickson 56, NGC3729 and PGC35202; check the annotated here:  https://www.astrobin.com/full/4tr7ed/B/

Take care and keep looking up!

Thank you Roger.  I hope the weather improves for your DSC!

Already liked on Astrobin. 

Great image Roberto, I tried to get these a couple of years ago, very small I recall and not easy to image, so this is a great result.

Thank you Carole! I first imaged this with an SX camera 5 years ago. It's quite a distorted galaxy and to think that each of the little smudges in the Hickson group is a galaxy itself!
