NGC 4323 / NGC 4328 / M100 / IC 783 / UGC 7425 / NGC 4312 Galaxies - telescope processed image. M100 is a centerpiece of the Virgo Cluster, a massive collection of over 2,000 galaxies bound together by gravity.

NGC 4323 / NGC 4328 / M100 / IC 783 / UGC 7425 / NGC 4312 Galaxies - unprocessed image. Nearby "satellite" galaxies, like NGC 4323, are being gravitationally distorted by M100’s massive spiral structure.

In this image from the s50 there are 6 galaxies visible. From top to bottom / left to right - #NGC4323 / #NGC4328 / #M100 / #IC783 / #UGC7425 / #NGC4312 #Galaxies #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

M100 & NGC 4312 Galaxies - telescope processed image. M100 is a perfect example of a Grand Design spiral galaxy, featuring two prominent, well-defined arms of stars and gas.

M100 & NGC 4312 Galaxies - unprocessed image. NGC 4312 This spiral galaxy is seen almost perfectly edge-on, appearing as a thin, elongated streak of stars and dark dust lanes.

Here is an observation of #M100 & #NGC4312 #Galaxies. Barely visible to the top of M100 is #NGC4323 and to the left is #NGC4328. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

M100 / NGC 4312 / NGC 4328 / NCG 4323 / IC 783 / UGC 7425 Galaxies - telescope processed image. M100 is a grand design spiral galaxy and one of the largest and brightest in the Virgo Cluster. Seen face-on, its prominent arms show intense star formation.

M100 / NGC 4312 / NGC 4328 / NCG 4323 / IC 783 / UGC 7425 Galaxies - unprocessed image. M100's primary neighbors are its satellite galaxies, NGC 4323 and NGC 4328. NGC 4323 is a small galaxy connected to M100 by a bridge of luminous matter, and NGC 4328 is a dwarf elliptical or lenticular galaxy. These interactions may influence M100's shape.

Thought I was only imaging the #M100 #Galaxy. As I am reviewing the image before this post, noticed there are 5 more galaxies that can be seen. Starting at the galaxy that seems to be at 45 degrees and going clockwise - #NGC4312 / #NGC4328 / #NCG4323 / #IC 78 […]
