3/27/03 More galaxies!

I tried my hand at another wide field shot with the ETX70 riding piggyback, this time of the lenticular galaxy M86. Many small eliptical and spiral galaxies can be seen in this image. Galaxy M86 is in the center of a galaxy rich field in the constellation Virgo. This image shows significant field rotation (yuck). I need to determine where this is coming from, I think my polar alignment is fairly good. Maybe the piggyback setup is causing the ETX70 to be misaligned even though the LX200 looks good.
