Coma Star Cluster / Melotte 111

Visible in both southern and northern hemispere skies but as it's 60 degrees above the horizon at 
New Mexico and only around 20 degrees at Siding Spring it's easier to image from a more northerly position.
Black and white image (could't quite get the colour frames to combine in an appealing way)
made up of 4 frames, 12 Mins 30 sec of exposure total.
Taken with Telescope 14, iTelescope, New Mexico a 106mm aperture refracting telescope.
