Description

Messier 88 is one of many galaxies that make up Markarian's Chain in the southern sky. Although this technically isn't a revisit (I had photographed the entire Chain last year (https://bit.ly/2Vl0lQG)), it's the first time with the big scope.

Very very happy with the details that showed up in this one, considering it's almost 60 million light years away.
