Markarian's Chain

How! Many! Galaxies! I photographed Markarian's Chain last week, every morning between 4 and 6 am after my main target of the night! I like seeing all these tiny (and not so tiny) galaxies and this has inspired me to plan a deeper photo of this later on in the spring. I can’t wait!
