NGC 4312



The night I caught M100 I also moved the camera just a little to the south and found this galaxy, NGC 4312. You can see how the two images fit together: The upper rights stars in this image are the same stars found in the lower left of the M100 image. I cannot force any more detail out of this image, and I can see none in others' photos except in the very most detailed, in which slight spiral arms appear. This galaxy is part of the same cluster of galaxies as M100.
