Markarian’s Chain
Sketch and Details by Ernest Shekolyan
Hi!
Let me contribute to ASOD one of my pictures
That is Markarian`s chain as it was seen 9/10 apr. 2007 in eyepiece of my scope at village Shumba, 50 km from St.Petersburg, Russia. That was visual limit 6.2m.

Sincerely yours, Ernest Shekolyan
Ernest,
Impressive sketch of Markarian’s Chain of galaxies. It is always fun to see clusters of galaxies in the eyepiece at the same time.
