Description

The Coma (Galaxy) Cluster in Coma Berenices.  The largest centre elliptical galaxies are NGC 4874 and 4889.  Over  9,900 objects (non stars) are visible in the LRGB frame.  Check the annotated versions (one without PGC galaxies to see the NGC objects alone).

Some IFN seems to be visible in both the L and (by construction) in the LRGB images.

There's a galaxy within this cluster that has an extremely active galaxy nucleus:  Mrk 60 or D100

Check these amazing pictures from Hubble:  Hubble shot of D100
