Description

My first attempt to capture the holy grail of Astrophotography: The Markarian's Chain

A number of circumstances made it very difficult to get a decent image:

a) the weather condition: hazy top atmospheric layer and turbulances

b) my focal length too high, even with the 0,63 reducer: only partial capture of the chain.

c) the most difficulty : no suitable guide star in the surrounding, therefore unguided session

d) because of c) only 30 sec captures, hence not much details of the Galaxies visible

anyway, I tried to make the best out of it.

thanks for watching

Wanni
