Virgo Galaxy Cluster at 200mm
I thought I would try a wider field of view for the galaxy cluster. I get many
more galaxies but most are too small to see at this resolution. Still, many
galaxies are visible in this image. Markarian's Chain is in the lower center. At
the upper right is the Blowdryer Galaxy.
Stellarium is a good resource for identifying all of the galaxies here.
Here is a map from Astrometry.net
showing all the galaxies. This is an amazing
website, it only took a couple of
minutes to get these results back.
