Markarian's Chain Deep FieldMarkarian's Chain is a renowned object within a galaxy cluster in the deep sky, known for its striking sequence of galaxies. with Takahashi E-160 telescope, we embarked on a meticulous deep field exposure project focused on this object.
We accumulated approximately 60 hours of integration time. This prolonged exposure allowed us to capture unprecedented details of the galaxy tidal wave occurring within Markarian's Chain. Most notably, we were able to observe the galaxy tidal waves dynamic interactions that showcase the gravitational forces at play between the galaxies in the cluster. These tidal waves are a compelling demonstration of the galaxy clusters' evolutionary processes, providing insights into the cosmic dance of gravity and motion that shapes the universe.Here with some tool, we can further show case the tidal wave in starless version and it's invert version.
We did not get a chance to tackle the H-alpha integration for this season, that will be something we will pick up next spring.
