Description

Messier 100 (also known as NGC 4321) is a grand designintermediate spiral galaxy in the southern part of the mildly northernComa Berenices. It is one of the brightest and largest galaxies in the Virgo Cluster and is approximately 55 million light-years from our galaxy, its diameter being 107,000 light years, and being about 60% as large. - Wikipedia

For me this was just continued fun using a widefield setup, the ASI Air and the ZWO AM5 mount.   Its not the best time of year for widefield imaging, but i love the depth and breadth these images bring out from small sections of the sky.
