The group you've identified as PGC 54881/3 almost looks like 4 or 5 blobs, do you think there's a gravitational lens effect going on there? I found Andreas Domenico's site and it identifys PGC 54880 in that group ... web page

Thanks Matt - you have identified PGC 54880 on my image and I'll update the pic sometime - the fourth easterly [left] 'blob' within the circled area is probably an artefact of the camera. Thanks again for your efforts

I've started to look at the other Abell clusters shot that night through the ETX-70 eg AGC 1185, 1213, 1367 [=Leo/Uma], 2079 [CrB] and needless to say I'm overwhelmed with galaxies it's amazing that a hour or so at the telescope can take seemingly days to explore, annotated and present the results but it's most exhilarating and rewarding - especially when good folk on the forum like yourself find time to respond - thanks

Here's today's offering eg AGC 1185 with over 30 marked galaxies in mag 14.1-16.7 range on Ursa Major borders with Leo and Leo Minor again via ETX-70
