Had to make use of a below average seeing night to get this target. Same night I was calibrating my new FLT132. This rig is on autopilot these days as I can set it and forget it. I prefer shooting larger and closer shots of galaxies, but Markarian's was on the bucket list and wider field felt best. I really like the presence of NGC4501 and decided not to crop it out. Checking it off for now.
