Description

I spent a little bit of time imaging The Eyes in Markarian's chain the other night, but ultimately felt that the longer focal length I was working with just didn't do the target justice. So instead, I went back to some data I'd captured more than 10 years ago and tried reprocessing to see what I could make out of it.
This will always be one of my favorite areas of the sky to image. Just the overwhelming number of galaxies in like nothing else.
