Description

I was looking in Stellarium at all the galaxies in and around Coma Berenices and so decided to capture one particularly densely populated area.

Probably not my best image...it was tough to draw them all out, and get reasonable color into them. Nevertheless, here it is

I persevered with it just to see how many galaxies were identified by Astrobin's plate solving. Too many to accurately count - I guess about 50.
