Second update: Clouds cleared so I took some more photos. This one is definitely a Perseid meteor. Alas, right at the edge of the frame, and teensy, and my focus was off, and it's marred by clouds, but I'll take it.

Markarian’s Chain is a string of galaxies located towards the centre of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster.
Markarian’s Chain contains at least 7 different galaxy members that appear to move coherently: notably 2 huge, bright lenticular galaxies known as M84 and M86. This shot was taken on March 24th from Picacho Peak State Park in Picacho, AZ. #astrphotography #zwoam5 #astro-tech #zwo #asi294mm #MarkariansChain

Might be getting some decent weather next week for astronomy (finally!) Going to try a mosaic on Messier 81 and 82.

Last time I imaged these galaxies was 5 years ago when I only had my Canon 7D Mark II. This will be the first time imaging these iconic galaxies with a monochrome astrophotography camera.

How much does Ha increase the nebulosity strcutures inside the galaxies? Is it worth dedicating some time to it?
