The Draco Triplet

NGC 5985, NGC 5982 and NGC 5981 are three galaxies in the constellation Draco, collectively known as Draco Triplet. This triplet is less known than Leo Triplet and unlike it, most probably these three galaxies are not interacting with each other. These are part of a larger group of galaxies known as the NGC 5982 Cluster.

 

This is my second attempt to photograph this region and I think with improved results (mileage and sark skies always help...)

 

I hope you enjoy and I'd love to hear your feedback on it.

 

Cheers,

André
