Part of Markarian's Chain. M 86 and The Eyes

Few months weather was not cooperative and when I got long waited window in clouds jumped out to shoot Markarian's Chain (just part of it with 8"RC+ZWO ASI294MC+CCDT67 focal reducer). I had 1.5 hours only to live stack with SharpCap Pro 180sec sub frames exposure and 120 gain. Guiding conditions were below average. Strong sky glow (green shifted). Battled in Photoshop to get something decent to place it in here.
The brightest is Faust V051 (M 86). Lower two are The Eyes. Lots of other fainter galaxies.

I never tire of images like these!

Me too. I have printed out some sky images (prints on metal) like Orion Nebula, Moon, galaxies but do not have yet decent image of galaxies cluster. It would be very cool picture.

Great image! This area of the sky is in my plans for the next month. I hope the weather will be cooperative

Love it! Clusters of galaxies are so mind-blowing to think about.
