Inspired by John's excellent shot of the Markarian's Chain, I decided to just concentrate on the group of Galaxies that looks like a face. I know it is M84 and M86, but I don't know if the Face in Space has an official name or not. Any way, here it is. Ten 5 minute shots with a Canon 10D mounted on a AP-130 F/6 with an IDAS filter. The left eye is M86, the right eye is M84. The nose is NGC 4387, the mouth is NGC 4388, and the left eye brow is NGC 4402.

Excellent shot Ralph!

I see your 10D and IDAS LPS gives the same hard to process out color cast i get with my Nikon 70. I dont get that color cast when i do RGB with the b/w camera. One day im gonna nail down the correct WB for that filter.
