Description

The weather situation got better here in Germany, so I could finish the subs for this stunning Messier Galaxy in Coma Berenices. I am wondering about the real shape of this Sb type galaxy. It looks somehow like a helix or is this an optical ilusion? In addition I couldn't find out how the fainter blue galaxy on the right is named. Maybe someone can help here. Hope you like this crop.

Cheers, Christoph
