Here is a shot of Ngc4216(centre mag 11.0) with SN2024gy which can be seen towards the bottom of the dust lane that was discovered by Koich Itagaki in Jan2022. The other two Galaxies are top Ngc4206 Mag12.8 and bottom Ngc4222 Mag 13.9.There are plenty of bright galaxies in this region of Virgo mostly with a Messier designation including the famous Markarian Chain.This image was processed with Astro Pixel Processor using the Combine RGB tool from created Masters to blend into a LRGB image.
The workflow continued in Pixinsight with Plate Solver to create a valid Astrometric Solution for Colour Calibration with futher steps,Star,Blur and Noise Xterminator suite then the script Stars Back .
