Description

Part of the Coma cluster - virtually every point of light in this image is a remote galaxy.



NGC4889, top right, actually hosts the largest known black hole in the universe, at least 9.7 billion times more massive than our Sun.

Distance to the Coma cluster : an amazing several hundred million Light Years.

Taken during March, seeing not great. 30 x 120 second exposures.
