Description

I was able to image M85 a few nights ago. There were high thin clouds all night but was still able to acquire 105 images (2 minute subs). 
M85 is an elliptical galaxy in Coma Berenices. It is interacting with the spiral galaxy NGC 4394 and a small elliptical galaxy MCG 3-32-38.

This image is cropped by about 25% to bring out the galaxies.
