Coma Berenices with 85mm lens

[Lester]

Hi all, got this region while trying for a couple of faint comets. It is 20x2 minute exposures with 85mm lens at f2 and 20Da camera at ISO 800. I managed to track down a couple of galaxies 17 and 18 magnitude at the bottom of the FOV.

If anyone can identify the nebula (faint) above M64 I would be grateful.
All the best.

Lester, I've tried solving this with Unimap and with astrometry.net. Neither can identify it, even if I go as far as the USNO-B1 catalog. I suspect that some part of the stacking has altered the geometry. Have you got an unprocessed frame to try? If you can get the RA/Dec from that frame you can look the co-ords up in Vizier.

It's another perfect day in Sydney for reading emails, books, plate solving, ...

Hi Andrew, the streak is there on the RAW image, but ever so faint. Thanks.
