Description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgo_Cluster

The 3 panels for this mosaic were acquired on 3 different nights.  Obviously the panels were not planned to be a mosaic.  After the images were captured and processed, it occurred to me that the coverage might make a good mosaic.  I counted around 150 galaxies identified with plate solving in this mosaic.  In the future I plan to make a 4 panel mosaic of this region.
The exposures were approximately 30 frames x 120s for each panel.
