Description

M87 and its surroundings

I used the LPS D2 filter just to test it against the Baader Moon filter. I had more problems color correcting the result. Since the D2 filter is more for nebula this is not surprising.

The bright spot in the left lower corner is M87, the first galaxy to have its black hole "photographed".
