Markarian's Chain of Galaxies


I was thinking of a good target when we went to Buso-boso last Saturday night. It is supposed to be a season for galaxy hunting but my gears are not appropriate for capturing small objects. The field of view of my scope is around two and a half degrees which is relatively large so a galaxy will appear puny if I shoot it. But I really wanted to capture galaxies so I chose to shoot a few of them in just one field. This a 22 - frame shot of 180 seconds each duration.
