Photo description / processing

I understand that for professionals this photo might look quite poor, but for me personally, this was a breakthrough astrophotography achievement because I managed to capture such faint objects for the first time under heavy urban light pollution. The sky area is located near Markarian's Chain. Please don't judge too harshly! The photo includes galaxies such as "Siamese Twins", M-58, M-90, M-89, and M-87.

Shooting random patches of the sky is a wonderful experience. Doing this, you connect with the grandfathers who used to shoot on film in the old days. You feel the same excitement and curiosity during development.
