Description

To go along with the 18-panel mosaic of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster we shot using the small WO Z61 refractor, we also drilled in on each of the Messier galaxies in the Virgo Cluster using the 1100 EdgeHD. This is the fourth of those long focal-length images. This is the only Messier galaxy we didn't capture in the mosaic. That would have required us to add 14 more panels. Perhaps next spring we can add those panels and make the claim that we have captured the entire cluster.
