Description

The Markarian's Chain, aka Messier 84 and NGC 4374, is a string of galaxies in the Virgo Cluster that caught my eye last April 23, so I spent some time getting 100 images at 30s each with ISO 1000. I asked msmythers (find him in astrobin) to process the raw images using PixInsight (something I'm still learning how to use) and he gave me his best result. I did a little extra touch-up on it and got this final result.
