On this image, totaling 5H50 of photo exposures, 86 more or less distant galaxies are visible (see annotated image). Note that M86 is located 53 million light-years from the Milky Way, and M84 at 46 million light-years.
The most important galaxies in this image:
M86, M84, NGC4402, NGC4387, NGC4388, NGC4413, NGC4425, NGC4438, NGC4435
Taken over 3 nights, with a Bortle 3 sky, on March 26, 27 and 28, 2022. From the Vosges (France)
Particularity for this object, the capture was carried out in remote control of my equipment, in order to benefit from a better sky, directly at my friend Gaëtan Maxant, more than 38 miles away.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
