The Virgo Gang and Markarian's Chain

First attempt on this marvellous region and, first light for my new EosR(a-modded) ;-)

To be precise, it's actually the second light but, it was the same session so, still kind of first light.

The sky was not exactly good (too much moisture I guess) but hey, in these days you have to take what you can get...

So, this is 98 minutes of light. Not sure if it will still be seen in this resolution but, the jet from the SMBH in M87 is really there! ;-) I think of making a crop dedicated to it. And also one of M's chain only. The image resolution of the Hypergraph delivers. Maybe we'll all have a lot of spare time pretty soon.... trying to see it from the optimistic side ;-)

However, I think I will review the background noise level.....

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
