Description

Markarians Chain in Virgo with a 300mm lens to hopefully show more of this area's galaxy cluster. Used my Skywatcher Star Adventurer to get 50 20sec subs. Camera was a newly acquired Canon 6D2 stock. Polar alignment was decent to get 20 sec subs. My location in So Idaho is rated Bortle 4. Think I'll try again to get 30sec+ subs to improve SNR. For this set used ISO 3200 f/4 . Hopefully can get ISO down to 800 with longer subs.
