Messier 100
Messier 100 is one of the brightest and largest galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. M100 is a spiral, starburst galaxy with the highest levels of formation ocurring in the galaxy's center. This image is a mere 12 minutes of integration time due to clouds (104 x 7s with no binning or gain). The spiral form of the galaxy is defined, but detail in the spiral arms is missing. The cropped image also shows NGC 4312, an edge-on spiral, close by in the sky. The astrometric image shows targets I am going to try for next at the left edge, NGC 4302 and NGC 4298, a spectacular galactic pairing.
