Description

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



NGC 4889, 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.
