Introduction | Map | My Own Photos | Own Observations | References
On this page I collect my observations of the elliptic galaxy M 85 (NGC 4382) in the constellation Coma Berenices (since June 2020 with supernova 2020nlp). The smaller spiral galaxy NGC 4394 is in the same field of view.
Tthe elliptic galaxy M 85 in the constellation Coma Berenices is one of the brightest galaxies in the Virgo galaxy cluster and has a bright core. The smaller spiral galaxy NGC 4394 is in the same field of view for the eVscope (8' distance). On June 25, 2020, the supernova 2020nlp was discovered in M 85, and Unistellar posed the task to photograph it, which I did.
