Description

I went after Markarian's chain.... and missed. It was my first time trying to frame something that I couldn't really see in a sub-exposure (plus that sub was viewed on a camera preview screen vice a laptop). I still managed to catch quite a few members of the cluster, I counted 34 galaxies in a quick pass. Pictures like this always make me feel small...
