Coma Berenices (RF135mm R5).jpg

This is a framing of most of the northern spring constellation of Coma Berenices, including the region of the North Galactic Pole just left of centre near the pair of stars at the top. The large star cluster Melotte 111 is at right. The field is 15° by 10° and takes in the northern part of the constellation.

Several galaxies are visible even on this wide scale, such as the edge-on Needle Galaxy, NGC 4565, just right of center. Remarkaby, the tiny fuzzy spots of the brightest members of the Coma Cluster of galaxies are just visible at upper left. Messier 64 is at the bottom left.

This is a stack of 22 x 1-minute exposures with the Canon RF135mm lens at f/2.2 and on the Canon R5 at ISO 1000. Stacking lots of iimages was necessary to eliminate the satellite trails, as they were on almost every image. There is a version of this set where I accumulated the exposures to purposely show the web of satellite trails that covered this region of sky during the 30 minutes I was shooting.
