Markarian's Chain of Galaxies

Out shooting from the deck again with a full spectrum Sony A7S and Samyang 135mm, f/2 lens on a Celestron Evolution (Alt-Az) mount.
Centered on Messier 87. Too many galaxies to count (or label) but a few labeled and a lot pointed out! One could probably spend a lifetime simply imaging the galaxies in this field of view!
The download image is full size.

Hey Brian, good to see you out and about. Did the snow finally melt?
Not quite, still some hiding in shady spots in the bush. Our dogs love lounging in the snow so they're happy!
Historically our last frost date is June 1-10th so a while yet before we can put plants without them freezing (or being snowed on).
And the weather for the past year has been totally crappy for imaging; cloud, smoke and rain!
Clear skies!

Yes been pretty crappy here too sunny Southern California. But only cloudless in the daytime. 😂😂😂. Let’s hope for a better year this year.

What's the saying, "Hope is eternal!" One always hope...

Well, I got a moment of clarity the other night.
Of course, my computer and camera could not function.
Today I tried my desk computer and BAM! Hooked right up!
So I'm doing a full reset on the Baby Dell, then have to reinstall all the programs.
It's telling me now: "Reinstalling Windows 11%. Don't turn off your PC. This may take a while."
Your PC will restart several times.
Well, no chit. It is Windodes after all.
I'm just glad the Infinity didn't die.
