Description

This image of M87 / NGC4486 came to me for two reasons. The first was the curiosity if I could capture the jet of this massive active galaxy in a picture. The second was whether my EQ5 could carry a borrowed 8" 200/1000 GSO. That was limited despite Mgen. For me it was still a success on both counts happy
