| Note: |
The
images were focused, captured, reduced, aligned, and combined in
ImagesPlus. The two frames were combined and adjusted (Levels, Curves,
Color Balance, Cropping) in Photoshop CS2.
M86 is the large, brighter
eliptical galaxy near the center of the cluster. M84 is just to
its right. Also visible are several other galaxies in the Virgo
Cluster. NGC 4402 is just above M86; NGC 4388 is at the bottom right.
NGC4438 and NGC4435 (the Eyes) are the two spiral galaxies to the
left of M86.
