Description

Markarian's Chain is clearly visible from Poland so it's not your first choice when you visit Namibia. However astrophotography in Poland is very weather dependent and I don't really like that I must be ready all the time to use every single window between clouds. As I live in a big city so every time I need to drive at least 50 km. That's why I almost completely stopped taking astro pictures from my home country and do it only on dedicated astro trips.

So regardless of contemptuous looks from my friends  all pointing south sky targets, I booked 3 hours of my scope and took this picture.
