Description

Sunday night ended up being a much better viewing night... so I revisited Markarian's Chain of galaxies while bringing M99, the Virgo Pinwheel, into the picture in the bottom right.

I'm in awe about what is contained in this photo... hundreds of different types of galaxies all within a small patch of the sky. Quality turned out solid as well, considering it's unguided.

There's a few that I'll revisit with some beefier equipment soon.
