Description

This is Markarians Chain of galaxies, located at the centre of Virgo galaxy cluster. Markarians chain is at least 7 galaxies who move coherently. I like Russell Croman's StarXterminator very much, but I found Starnet2 has done a better job with this data (StarXterminator harms the glow of some of the galaxies  while removing the stars).
