Markarian's Chain with M84, M86, M87, and M88 along with 600 other galaxies. For this imaged I wanted to reframe the shot to include M88 and also go a bit deeper in this field of galaxies with a longer exposure. I'm satisfied with the framing, but after an hour transparancy decreased. 6 hours of exposures on 2015-0225 under Bortle 4 skies from Bad Wolf Ranch north of Lampasas, Texas.
