Markarians Chain of Galaxies

Hi All,
Ive always wanted to image this item, so did the widest field I could with any Scope I have going for the largest objective, used an Acromat (102mm x F5 Skywatcher) + an F-6.3 focal reducer (wasent made for this scope though) dident worry about the coulor bit as only B/W will do fine for this work, this setup should cover 4 Deg. of Arc. using the Canon 300D, Well it worked but could be sharper so seeing what size it presents, ill try the ED80 + FR and see how we go, a lot of interesting Galaxies here, with ngc 4435/4438 at about midcentre.

4 x 6 Min. at ISO-800 DF removed, w/Canon 300D modded, guided.

cheers.....Jim
