Virgo cluster: South region

Description and Details: While the Markarian chain is the representative field of the virgo cluster, there are other interesting regions. Here, M49 dominates the field as a massive elliptical, while NGC 4535 draws the eye with its vivid spiral structure and well-defined arms. This frame is densely populated, at least a few dozen galaxies are scattered across the field.
The data was captured within the Astrophotography Weekend in Ahuacatepec Jalisco, Mexico, a quite small town with bottle 3 sky. Three consecutive nights with clear skies were necessary
