Description

This is a part of the Markarian's Chain. I used NINA to select many composition options and finally chose a relatively outstanding area as the shooting target.

In this picture, you can see some famous galaxies like NGC4438, M86, and M84, as well as many small irregular galaxies such as NGC4388, NGC4402, and NGC4413.

Interestingly, there seem to be some interacting structures pulling and stretching around NGC4438, NGC4435, and NGC4425, and there are also many dark and weak clouds similar to IFN in the background.
