ASTRO Coma Cluster - Abell 1656

Some time back Joe posted a shot of the Corona Borealis Cluster
mislabeled as Coma Cluster but with the right Abell number (2065).
That's a month away or one for an all nighter. We did have a 2 hour
hole in clouds last night but transparency was poor, seeing not all that
great. Still I decided to try for the nearer and brighter Coma Cluster.
Not being a masochist I've not tried to identify all the galaxies.
You'd not see them for the labels anyway. Due to clouds closing back in
I never tried color data. Seems these guys have little color anyway so
doubt I'll go back and get any. Nice having the computer running again!

Outstanding, Rick. Lots of fuzzies.

Looks like the hubble deep image! nice details Rick!

Nice job Rick. I hope to be back at it soon. Then I can nail all of these
little fuzzy clouds

Thanks.
I'd have preferred better seeing so I could have unbinned the camera.
Still it came out fairly well. After clouds cleared at 1 a.m. tonight
I'm working on Abell 2065 in Corona Borealis. Seeing is a bit worse but
think the transparency better. Scale pretty small binned 2x2. Going to
be hard to tell galaxies from stars. I'm staying up until I do the
meridian flip then will let it run while I go to bed. Weather forecast
says no snow for the next few days. Not sure when spring will arrive.
I'm not used to a white Easter like we had.

Rick,

Cool shot! A comet hunter's nightmare!

I wonder if that one barred spiral in the upper left corner feels
lonely among all those elliptical and lenticular galaxies??

Makes you wonder how his red shift compares. May be an outsider looking
in. I'll have to see if I can find out what it is.

Great shot Rick. There are quite a few galaxies in you image ;-)
