Markarian Annotated

Quriyat, Oman

OK, here are the Messier and NGC numbers, in case you get turned on by such stuff. Annotations come from The Sky software. The sky was actually very dark, Visual Limiting Magnitude between 6.5 and 7.0, as measured from the sky fog in individual frames. These galaxies were close to zenith during the photography. In fact they transited the local meridian in between, and I had to wake up and re-frame the mount after the meridian flip. North in the above stack is towards the left.
