I had been trying to capture this galaxy cluster from the Moscow region for a very long time. But spring weather and circumstances never allowed me to accumulate enough exposure. And although in Namibia, Coma Berenices is low above the horizon, the atmospheric transparency and the number of clear nights finally made it possible!
