M100, NGC4312 and surroundings

By Rodrigo Maeda

M100 is a spiral galaxy seen from the front to us here on Earth, located in the direction of the constellation Coma Berenices. The region is home to a large number of objects, including other well-known galaxies from the Messier catalog and other catalogs. In this photo we also have NGC4312, a little smaller and more side view for our eyes, in addition to countless other tiny ones for my focal distance. Captured in Valparaiso Sao Paulo Brazil in my backyard. 224 frames of 300 seconds each one. bortle 5
