ASTRO: M100

I did it again. Found this one from last spring filed under NGC 100.
It's the last of the misclassified M objects. OK I said that about M110
but I've now double checked and am calling it quits looking for missing
M objects. I still have NGC objects beyond 4000 to check however.
Never heard of M4000 so think I'm now safe. I do see NGC 100 is an
interesting edge on needle galaxy so I might add it to the list for next
year.

The bright galaxy to the left is NGC 4326. Above it is LEDA 40214.
Above M100 is NGC 4323. Right of M100 is a right triangle of 3 pointing
down. At the time is IC 483A. IC 483 is out of frame to the right.
The galaxy straight above it is not shown by ALADIN. To its right is a
very fuzzy, very blue blob MGC+03-32-011. Interesting fuzz patch but I
couldn't find anything on it. There's also a Seyfert/QSO but I need to
point it out as it looks like a slightly fuzzy star for its brightness
down and a bit left of NGC 4326. It's 1.1 billion light years away per
NED's red shift data. It is [VCV2001] J122330.8+154508. Put that in the
DSS plate site using SIMBAD and you can find which "star" it is. It's
the fourth from the bottom of a 5 star chain pointing to NGC 4326.
Chain starts with a rather bright star followed by a dim one, a brighter
one, the QSO than other star a bit farther from the rest then a jump to
4326. There are a lot of others in the shot. Some are in ALADIN most not.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Great image Rick! One of my favorite galaxies. Glad to see someone else
uses aladin.

That would have been a shame to get lost in digital nirvana, detail is very
good
