Description

Messier 90 (also known as NGC 4569) is an intermediate spiral galaxy exhibiting a weak inner ring structure about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1781. It is blueshifted !!, so it is approaching us.

After six months I took the first opportunity of imaging, 3h under highly veiled skies with a broken wire so that I could not pilote the telescope with the computer. Dear, what a challenge for a quite modest image, but at least one more Messier target in the box.
