Default ASTRO: NGC 2776 (galaxy in Lynx)

I used two night just before new years eve to image NGC 2776 in Lynx.
According to Guide9 it's distance is 120 million lightyears, about twice as far as the well known galaxies in the virgo cluster.

Taken from Berlin with a 10" Meade ACF on an AZ-EQ6 mount, with ASI1600MM and Trius SX694 cameras.
Lum: 14x10min Trius, 16x10min ASI / RGB: 7x10min ASI+Trius each
Image scale is 0.76 arcseconds/pixel.
