Markarian Chain and a dozen Messiers

Hello all

Never quite expected to pull so many galaxies out of this 4 deg x 4 deg FOV.
Taken me a good while to get this data; LRGB 5:2.5:2.5:2.5 hours with the STX/FSQ106N and Baader 65mm filters.

The image is fullsize, and at first glance it just looks like a star field until you get into the image. The Makarian chain came out well, but there are just tons of other galaxies in there.

What I am really interested in is the apparent "streamer" or jet coming off IC3481 - in between NGC 4503 and NGC 4528.

Hope you like it.

cheers
Martin
