Description

I've already shot most of the larger galaxies, so I've been going after clusters lately for galaxy season.  I already did Markarian's Chain, so I decided to start a mosaic project and get much more of the Virgo Cluster.  My initial plan was for a 3x3 mosaic, but the weather has been variable and it was clear I wasn't going to have enough clear nights to do the full nine panel mosaic, so I decided to start with a 2x2 one.  I'll circle back and shoot the other five panels next season, weather permitting.
