Description

About 11:30 last night the last of the clouds faded out and I was able to start imaging again on the Virgo cluster/Markarian's Chain with the Canon 300 mm lens and the Canon T2i.  I got 74 three minute frames last night, waking up around 6 to see "Guiding Stopped, Star Lost" and the camera pointed at my fence in the morning light.  This is a mosaic including the image from the other night which was flipped on the opposite side of the mount so you can see a longer extent of this chain. It's not all that aesthetically pleasing but the plate solving results are really packed.
