Faint fuzzies in Coma Berenices

Galaxies in the constellation Coma Berenices. 127mm Apo Refractor, Canon 600d DSLR guided with a QHYL-11. 6x5 minute exposures at ISO800. Meteor or space debris bottom right corner.

Coma Berenices, Queen Berenices hair, is a constellation north of the constellation Virgo and east of Leo Major. The galaxy NGC 4477  marks the most northerly of a group of galaxies that run south into Virgo. These galaxies form the Virgo Cluster and run in a line known as Markarian's Chain. The galaxies in my image are over 55 million light years distant. A very long way away indeed!
