Description

This stretch of galaxies that form part of the Virgo Cluster were a stunning object I stumbled over at Astrobin.I definitely wanted to give it a try. My 110/700 ED-Refractor had just the right field of view... and delivered one of the sharpest and most colorful results ever. Captured lots of satelli(gh)ts with it though
