The galactic cluster in Coma Berenices is likely my favourite to image. Unlike the larger Virgo cluster, it has a greater portion of spirals / lenticular than the more mature, and less interesting ellipicals. It's like the ability to create one's own Hubble deep field, except the galaxies are not quite so old and far away.
