A few more for the list - M80, M84 and M86

Finally got some clear skies the last couple of days so thought I'd grab some more M objects for the list.
M84 and M86 are captured as part of Markarian's chain. I've been waiting for a month for a shot to "finish" this one. 25 eachRGB at 120s. 110 Lum.
M80 was a fun one. I played with the framing for a wide field shot and tried to pick up the dark nebula in the lower left. It's tough to see it as I only had 1.5 hours total. I'd like to revisit this framing next year from a dark site as I think it would be a cool shot if I could tease out details in the dark nebula. Would look like a wave trying to gobble up M80. I could try from my Bortle 7 skies but just don't think I can get enough integration time to pull that detail out.
3 more down.....
