This Galaxy Cluster in Leo Minor seemed a very interesting target as it contains a rich field as well as a member of the ARP catalogue of unusual galaxies.
ARP270, or NGC3395/3396, lie on the left hand side of the frame and actually consists of two interacting/merging galaxies, both of which are undergoing intense star forming activity as a result of the tidal interaction.
The largest galaxy in the field of view is the more stable spiral NGC3430. Nearby is the "Hamburger" shaped NGC3424. These and the next smallest CI2608 nearby are called a "cluster" but, but actually range from 26 to 72 million lys apart. By that measure, the Milky Way might be considered part of the same "cluster" when viewed from an different point.
For this image, I actually changed up my processing path, deciding to do more intense noise reduction at the linear stage rather than at the end. I think I like the result.
