Markarian's Chain is a stretch of galaxies that forms part of the Virgo Cluster. When viewed from Earth, the galaxies lie along a smoothly curved line. Charles Messier first discovered two of the galaxies, M84 and M86, in 1781. The other galaxies seen in the chain were discovered by William Hersche and were ultimately named after the Armenian astrophysicist, Benjamin Markarian, who discovered their common motion in the early 1960s. The bright members of the chain are visible through small telescopes. Larger telescopes can be used to view the fainter galaxies. Near the center there appear the pair of interacting galaxies NGC 4438 and NGC 4435, about 50 million light-years away, known to some as Markarian's Eyes. At least seven galaxies in the chain appear to move coherently, although others appear to be superposed by chance. Six of the points on the chain can be marked by galaxies. The other two points are pairs of galaxies *

I have been waiting for a while to reshoot this target after my first attempt almost a year ago was cut short by the weather (https://www.astrobin.com/anotji/)
. This was about 5.75hrs of LRGB take from Green River State Wildlife Area in IL, which is around a Bortle 3-4.
