Map of Virgo galaxy cluster
      #2158407 - 01/31/08 03:25 PM

...actually Virgo-Coma cluster

Here is map of this overcrowded galaxy cluster that I made in the CorelDRAW. Map is based on the Cartes du Ciel and Digitezed Sky Survey. It has stars down to the mag 11 and galaxies down to the mag 13 (and larger than 0.5').
Map is made for A3 paper.

If you have any suggestions, critics or there is a error on the map that I didn't noticed please tell me.

I hope that you will find this map useful for the next two and half months.

Thanks Vedran, good job. Yet I will have to invert this map horizontally and vertically to match the view in the EP. I don't know if any of you have the same problem but for me inverting maps "mentally" is too challenging and mind-twisting

Clear skies!
