Markarians chain M84 & M86

I was able to fit in half of this chain of galaxies using the SW120ED with focal reducer. Managed 28 x 4 min exposures despite the light pollution in that area of sky. I found with the light pollution the intrusion of the pickup prism in my OAG was visible on the LHS of the picture despite flats so the picture has been cropped slightly. camera was celestron nightscape 10.7Mp.
regards philip
Ps the two bright blobs are M84 &M86
