The galaxies, NGC 4438 (center upper left) and NGC 4435 (center lower right), also known as the Eyes Galaxies are in the Virgo Cluster and lie at 50 million light years away from our planet.

The distance between the two galaxies is 100,000 light years. There are multiple galaxies present, for one, Messier 86 (bottom center) the elliptical galaxy.

The image was captured using 88 sub-frames at 60 second exposures each. The amateur astronomical equipment used: ES ED165 mm APO F/7 refractor, ASI2600 CMOS one-shot color camera (OSC) and Baader Moon & Sky-Glow filter.
