Description

This my first instalment of what I hope will be a two/three piece mosaic that will span the entire Markarian's Chain. As usual at my latitude seeing has been mostly poor and transparency spotty at times, although got better as the season moved into Spring. Nevertheless I reckon I can be pretty chuffed by the end result and the performance of the scope/camera combo at these deeper integrations.
