Virgo galaxies (Makarian's Chain)

I had the opportunity to image this area for almost a couple of hours from Leyburn dark skies earlier this week. It turned into a race against the trees, but I got twice as much data as initially expect as the field neatly slid down between large gum trees rather than behind.

Not enough to get colour and decent SNR, but way beyond what I can hope for normally from the 'burbs. Processed a bit harshly to hold down the noisy background. Still, I bagged quite a few of the blighters.
