Galaxies M86 and M84, and numerous friends

I'm being optimistic to try to capture these relatively faint galaxies from such a light-polluted site - The cores come out all right, but there isn't nearly enough contrast to bring out the faint edges or finer detail.

Moose Creek, Ontario (yellow LP zone); March 15, 2010, 11:15 PM - 12:40 AM; T=-2 C, seeing excellent. 120mmED at f/7.5, Canon XSi; Hutech LPS filter; autoguided. ISO800, 4x15 minutes.
