Description

Virgo is a constellation of galaxies. This view contains hundreds of galaxies, including the prominent M87 elliptical galaxy which houses the supermassive black hole that was recently imaged. Also in the field are M90, M58, portions of Markarian’s Chain and the Siamese twins galaxy pair. These galaxies lie some 50-70 million light years away.

This unguided image is a first light of a new Redcat 51.
