Description

NGC 4536 & NGC 4527 is an interesting pair of galaxies locate in the Constellation Virgo together with tons of small galaxies around. Both are members of M61 group of galaxies. NGC 4527 has an eplictic disc shape in warm tone, while NGC4536 appears to be more prominent on the extending spiral arms. It is easy to notice numerous non-stellar "dots" in the background of the framing, a bit "weak" which are small galaxies beyond my league to resolve, but I like keeping them as-is for showcasing how busy it is in this part of the sky.
