The Coma Berenice – Virgo Galaxy Cluster

The Coma Berenice – Virgo galaxy cluster is probably too ambitious for my tiny 77mm telescope, but when it is all that I brought during this time of Covid19 lockdown, I will tilt it against the windmills. This three-hour exposure captured trillions and trillions of stars far far away. The closer galaxies form an upward crescent, and if you look closely, there are tiny and more distant background galaxies peppering the whole image.
