Description

Rather small at this focal length but pretty. At the 3 o'clock position from M100 is a very faint galaxy,  PCG3096132 (Mag 17.0) which Sky Safari lists at 1.2 billion light years away and at about double that amount out at about 3:30 is PGC 3788159 (Mag 17.96) shown at 1.8 billion light years away!
