#Astronomy #Picture of the Day
Oskar ContrerasWas thinking I wanted to get some images from the #MarkarianChain this morning, didn’t realize that I set both the Dwarf Mini and the s50 to do this task. Here is the s50’s observation where you can see (from left to right) #M86 / #NGC4402 / #M84 / #NGC4388 / #IC3280 / #IC3346 / #NGC4306 / #NGC4305 #Galaxies. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
Here is the first of two observations of the #MarkariansChain. Starting from left to right are #NGC4473 / #NGC4458 / #NGC4435 / #NGC4438 /#NGC4425 / #NGC4407 / #M86 / #NGC4402 / #NGC4488 / #NGC4367 / #M84 / #IC3258 / #NGC4306 / #NGC4305 #Galaxies. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur
First picture I waited to publish after I got back home. This image is focused on #NGC4388 galaxy, which is a small part of the Markarian's Chain. Around this galaxy are the following galaxies #M86 #NGC4387 #IC3303 #NGC4425 #NGC4407 #IC3363. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
Third time heading to this area where I can see 7 #galaxies. Tried to get a longer exposure. Wasn’t expecting the clear view this morning (was supposed to be cloudy this morning), started later than I would usually. Made it to a bit past 59 minutes before the telescope could not continue to to the sun coming up. Starting at the left, moving clockwise - #NGC4425 #M86 #NGC4402 #M84 #NGC4387 #NGC4388 #NGC4413 #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
Was fascinated with an image I caught yesterday. Went back to take another image. You can see 7 distinct #galaxies in this image. Starting at the left, moving clockwise - #NGC4425 #M86 #NGC4402 #M84 #NGC4387 #NGC4388 #NGC4413 #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
Pretty impressive shot. The #M84 galaxy to the center. Upper left is the #M86 galaxy. Lower left is the #NGC4388. In the center all 3 is #NGC4387 galaxy. Didn’t expect to get this image this morning. #galaxies #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

Electoral reform didn’t happen. What it means for your vote
Alison CreeksideAlthough 75% of Lib MPs voted against #M86 on #electoralreform last week, it's the duopoly party leadership that is the real hurdle to reform here.
Real LaVergne of FairVote points out that if you subtract the Lib cabinet & Con shadow cabinet from the total vote, the vote among remaining MPs was virtually tied at 101 in favour to 103 against.
