Description

Well, this was a nightmare to process. I have spent two days on this so far, but at some point to just have to call it done! I wasn't sure how I wanted to frame this, but I knew I wanted M87 in the image as well so going for a more 'vertical' orientation made sense. Not sure if I like it or not, but c'est la vie! My rotation ended up being slightly out, and I had to crop a little more than I had hoped, but it's decent enough I guess. As always, comments good and bad are always welcome
