Markarian's Chain in Virgo

Here's another go on this subject. I was able to get to a "slightly" darker site than my backyard in the last version with 24 minutes of data.
This version is 160 minutes of data.
ZWO 1600mm cooled camera
160 x 60 seconds, 16bit FITS, sensor cooled to -20° F below ambient.
Processed with Astro Pixel Processor.

I'm happy to say the black bar issue I had in the previous version was not visible in the 16bit FITS.

Wow - stunning celestial skyscape, reminds me of the Hubble Deep Space image.

What 'scope was used, the optics look excellent.

Cheers

Thanks ~

StellarVue SV70T is the scope with a .8x reducer/flattener = 336mm fl. F4.8

This is a phenomenal image, beautifully done, i hope one day i can give it a try too.

Thanks guys. This image is a crop of the upper left area that shows Messier 88 a bit closer along with about 8 fainter galaxies. You can see the spiral structure in M88 a little better in the crop.
