Description

Due to the fact that I already have the Markarian Chain in my collection, and I decided to leave individual galaxies behind, my goal was set on the galaxy cluster in the Coma Berenices constellation. It was also a "galactic" test of Newton's and how much light it is able to gather from such dark objects. Of course, I didn't think that the moon would drastically revise my expectations
