Description

In 1983 astronomers Godwin, Metcalfe, and Peach published a catalogue of 6724 galaxies in the Coma cluster. They used the 48 in. Schmidt telescope at the Palomar observatory. Their field of view was 2.63 degrees square. I used the catalogue to annotate this image, and according to the annotation script in PI, there are some between 550 and 600 galaxies in this field of view.
