Description

Markarian's Chain, imaged from Rodeo, New Mexico on April 3 2019.

It was a fabulous night, with Bortle 1 sky's in the cool, dry desert.

Featured galaxies include M84, M86 and M87.

At the far extreme of a zoom on M87, you can see its enormous gas jet. …A testament to the excellent sky conditions which assisted my modest DSLR and 4" refractor.
