Description

I pointed my telescope to a relatively bare patch of sky in the Coma Berenices constellation to photograph a cluster of galaxies known as the Coma cluster. To my knowledge, this particular view shows more galaxies with an amateur-class telescope than any other part of the sky. The majority of dots and smudges are galaxies. Only a few dim stars, and one bright star (in the middle-left) interfere.
