Description

Here is an interesting spring time galaxy cluster that occurs 321 million lightyears away from the Earth known as The Coma Cluster. It is theorized that this region could be made up of 90% dark matter. I captured the coma cluster from my light polluted yard a week ago under a half moon using an ASI2600mc camera and a Sharpstar 76 EDPH refractor at F4.5.

This was shot at gain 100 with the following exposures.

30x60s

35x120s

11x360s

= 2.76hr total integration
