Luminance only, 60 seconds subexposures, 10 stacked shots. FITS Liberator, GIMP. North is up; east is left.
This is an interesting group of galaxies and I can't help but wonder if it is part of a formal group. SkyTools 3 Pro shows that NGC 7619 is west of ACO or Abell 2594. Is it part of it?
To the north-west, well away, near the top-right of the photograph, is LEDA 1344694. It is just a little bit north-east of the bright pair of stars. It looks like a distant canted spiral galaxy.
Still north-west but closer is a very dim round patch. LEDA 142907 is just below the faint star J231948.8+081639.
Nearby, to the south-south-west, is a small almond shape. LEDA 1342934.
To the west of these two dim objects is the rather large but faint galaxy UGC 12510 aka PGC 71085. I don't see a spiral arm structure; perhaps it is an elliptical.
Close the NGC 7619, to the west-north-west, I see a faint fuzzy. Below star J231959.2+081401. It is not tagged in ST3P.
LEDA 197669 is nearly due west. It is medium-sized and bright. Nearly perfectly round.
Far away to the south-west is the long streak of LEDA 214939. It looks to be a edge-on spiral but does not show any brightness at the core.
Unlike NGC 7611 to the south. A smooth large oval with a very bright central region.
Near 7619 is NGC 7617. To the south-west. The outer edges of this galaxy are very dim; the core is very intense.
MCG 1-59-54 is due south of 7619. It is barely visible at the bottom edge of the photo. It appears as a large but dim face-on spiral.
NGC 7626, to the east of 7619, appears almost identical. Elliptical, bright, about the same size.
Tiny LEDA 3097931 is visible just a bit north of 7626.
At the far north, at the edge of the frame, is the round fuzzy of LEDA 1344674.
Wow.
For the first time, with this image, I tried the OFFSET option. I specifically used
offset=10,-10which shifted the mount (positive) 10% in R.A. and negative 10% in Dec. The end result appear with the centre of the image down and right or west and south of 7619. I did this primarily to include NGC 7611 at the bottom-right. Wait a sec'. Isn't R.A. decreasing?
