Description

Eyes Galaxies, NGC4435 / NGC4438, is the focal point of this target and there are many other galaxies around.

The Eyes Galaxies are about 52 million light years from Earth. The light from these galaxies left when Earth was in the Eocene Epoch. At the beginning of this period Australia and Antarctica were connected. At the end of the epoch there was a major extension event called the "Great Break" that affected mostly marine and aquatic plants and animals and was a time when the climate was cooling.

Two Messier objects are framed, M84 and M86, along with dozens of other galaxies.

Description: Just going through some older data to see if updated understanding of processing gets me anything. Best I can say is the background is better. Not much to work with in the foreground.
