This lovely little chain of four galaxies was easily visible in the 56cm dob.
Though small all of them were fairly bright at around mag 12.5.
Quite a number of the Hickson galaxy groups are faint and challenging objects.
This group however was a pleasant surprise.

Scott,
I have said it before, when you can pull in several galaxies at once that’s a fine view. Impressive sketch.
