M-85
M-85 is an elliptical galaxy in the Coma Berenices cluster.  There are two additional galaxies in the field of view of the larger image, but I was only able to capture one of them.  My skies wee about magnitude 3 when these images were taken.  I really need to try again under better conditions.  .
