A wide-angle image of the northern part of the Virgo cluster, which includes (among others) galaxies M100, M99 and (upper right) M98 and also a nice pair of NGC 4298/4302 in the lower middle. Just a short exposure, a preview to prepare for the next photoshoot..
Ten years later, a lot has already been added, click on individual galaxies !!
