About this image

This is a smashing spiral galaxy in the Virgo cluster. Framed by NGC4206 and NGC4222 in the same field, which are companions.

There are also lots of other small fuzzies in the field too, some in the IC catalogue but there are dozens on the bottom right side of the image that I think I will need to use Alladin to identify

This was a hard imaging session. A bright moon with cloud on occasion. So the image is not the best. The colour channels were hugely affected. So I stacked all channels and binned to at least get a nice deep mono image.
