NGC 4438 & Co. "The Eyes": galaxies in the Virgo Cluster

[Danilo Pivato]

I'm pleased to place an old photograph of 2009, made during the Star Party Mt Amiata (Grosseto - Italy) under a good sky.

Unfortunately, we see difficulties with the bridge that connects the interactive galaxy NGC4438 & NGC 4458.

However, the limit of background glimpsed the brightest globular clusters
in the galaxies NGC 4435 & NGC 4458 (to see the map Hires).

This photograph was used with my BRC250 CCD ST-10XME.

Lots and lots of Galaxies there Danilo. I love scanning around an image like this, particularly when there is some detail in the galaxies and not just a lot of fuzzies.

Well done.

Quite a good image. A few background artifacts though. Did you use recent flats?
