Coma Berenices Cluster of Galaxies, Greg/Noel

[Noel Carboni]

Greg and I did a closeup of this area a while back from data he acquired through his Hyperstar setup and SXV-H9C camera.
This time he accumulated another 18 x 600 second subs through his Sky 90 and SXVF-M25C camera.

I put the whole mess together into a grand wide field image, presented here in three versions: A downsized view of the whole field, and a crop at original size, and a negative view that to help you pick out the fuzzies. Anything that's fuzzy without spikes coming out of it is probably a galaxy. Click on the images to see larger ones.
