Markarian’s Chain, Mar’25

Two perfect nights in March 2025 — one under the pristine skies of Hoher List Observatory, the other at home under my suburban sky. Luminance captured on-site, RGB from home. Couldn’t be happier with the result!

Messier 88

M 88 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices, located about 65.1 million light-years away, and it reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed late March.
