Description

An image worth of 1000 identified galaxies, this is the Coma Cluster (Bell 1656) located in Coma Berenices Constellation. It took me about 20h of integration time in good dark skies to pull out hundreds of galaxies and their finest details.

It was quite a challenge to process this image because I couldn’t use StarXterminator, as per my usual editing flow. It couldn’t differentiate many small galaxies from stars so I had to edit the old way without star separation, but in the end I’m quite pleased with the result.
