    Coma-Cluster Abell 1656 (central 18' fiel with 27")

    Last new moon I started an observing and sketching project of Abell 1656 with bigger aperture. After I tried to observe the cluster with 8" aperture in the past, the 27" was on the row. The field shows nearly 60 galaxies up to approx 18bmag. Coolest detail was the faint edge-on on the back of NGC 4884.

    27", 293x-586x, NELM 6m5+, Seeing II

    Fabulous, thanks for sharing although it makes me want to get an upgrade from my 16 inch scope.
