Messier 86 (also known as M86 or NGC 4406) is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo. Messier 86 is linked by several filaments of ionized gas to the severely disrupted spiral galaxy NGC 4438 (on the right side of my image), indicating that M86 may have stripped some gas and interstellar dust from the spiral. Messier 86 has a rich array of globular clusters, with a total number of around 3,800. Its halo also has a number of stellar streams interpreted as remnants of dwarf galaxies that have been disrupted and absorbed by this galaxy. (ref: Wikipedia).

Sucker for vintage! It just opens up another world where I envision the history behind the object/subject. I need time to go through the emotions, even though is a made up story in my head 😆😁
Well, I think we have a bit of a winner here! Taking a few tips and tricks from other photographers, I have a roll that I'm honestly happy with from the start. I shot these at ASA-3 and developed them in a cold mix of 1+1 Classic MQ for six minutes. Yes, there's still a base fog, and the negatives were thin, but they scanned in beautifully!
