It is still galaxy season! Last night I imaged Messier 100. It is one of the brightest and largest galaxies in the Virgo Cluster of galaxies and is approximately 55 million light-years from our own galaxy! AWESOME !
Then I ran the image through Astrometery.net which identifies many of the other galaxies and stars in the image... all those smugges are GALAXIES, most are even farther away than M 100.
NGC 4323 and NGC 4328 are satellite galaxies of M 100.
