Description

This image is the sum of 232 60 secs unguided subs taken during the night of the 2nd of May 2022. Imaging train was Newton Orion USA 250 F 3.9, Omegon Coma Corrector, Primalucelab UHC filter and Ioptron CEM60EC mount. Night was quite windy, I decided to shift to bin 2 in order to reduce wrong images as much as possible. Aquisition, stacking and processing with Astroart 8.

NGC 4302 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 55 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 8, 1784[5] and is a member of the Virgo Cluster.

It is classified as a Seyfert galaxy and as a LINER galaxy. It also has a prominent, extended dust lane.

NGC 4298 is a flocculent spiral galaxy located about 53 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on April 8, 1784 and is a member of the Virgo Cluster.

NGC 4298 may harbor an intermediate-mass black hole with an estimated mass ranging from 20,000 (2×104 M☉) to 500,000 (5×105 M☉) solar masses.
