Description

A very nice grouping of Messier objects surrounded by a see of NGC and PGC galaxies and galaxy clusters.  I was surprised to see not a lot of additional structure in Ha nor OIII.  M58 showing some very cool loops in those gasses though.  M89 is almost devoid of structure, but I was able to capture the rarely imaged stellar stream from it.  I was not able to find any information on the structure itself and only a few images seem to show it.  It is pretty faint and considering the lack of structure in M89 itself it would not be outside the realm of possibility that is a separate low surface brightness galaxy.

There is also a handful of Galaxy Clusters identified.  Pulling up the redshift data on some of the galaxies in the cluster shows them to be roughly 1.2Billion Lyrs away!
