Description

This is a 12-panel mosaic of the region around Markarian's chain covering the southern part of Coma Berenices and the northern part of Virgo. All panels (15% overlap) are the results of 30x120s subs taken with the Optolong L-pro filter (520mm; f/2.2). 

I reviewed each panel for the presence of asteroids, and could visually verify this with a magnitude of 19 or better. This resulted in a list of 78 unique asteroid observations (75 located in the main belt and 3 in the outer main belt). The list of these observations can be seen here (lines 665 to 742):

There are of course many more asteroids in this region with magnitudes larger than 19, but I could not actually see their traces in the individual panels.
