M100 Spiral Galaxy
M100, Messier 100 (aka NGC 4321) is a grand design intermediate spiral galaxy located within the southern part of constellation Coma Berenices.
It is over 107,000 light years in diameter, and is located at 55 million light years from Earth.
As you can see M100 spiral has lots of (Faint Fuzzies) galaxy friends nearby, and if you scan the background carefully you will see many more tiny galaxies as faint as 18th magnitude in this FOV.
This is a 115 minute exposure with my Explore Scientific 102MM Triplet APO refractor Telescope & QHY183C Cooled Color(RGB) Cmos Cameras, tracking on a Bisque ME robotic Mount, captured on 05-13-2021.
