Description

Here I present another image of Markarian’s chain of galaxies, centred on the giant elliptical M86 in Virgo . Taken with my DSI3 pro CCD camera and LRGB filters through a Samyang 135mm camera lens. I combined L data from this image, taken in March, adding to a further hour of L and 45 min RGB data on Sunday evening, whilst visiting my parents in Northumbria. 

I am pleased to add a little colour, and the blue star clouds/streams being torn away from NGC 4438 are visible, along with other details. These are best seen in the mouseover (Rev C); open full resolution to see the annotations.
