Description

M 87 is a beautiful 8.7 mag. elliptical galaxy in Virgo. It lies 55 million light years away.

My goal was to capture the jet coming from its center. I don't think I was able to using this telescope and camera combo. But, I at least captured some interesting neighboring galaxies.

Among them is part of Markarians Chain. Seeing 9/10.
