Processed my latest data on Messier 100 together with nearby edge-on companion NGC 4312 in Virgo.

This field is packed with faint background galaxies from the Virgo Cluster and turned out to be one of my favorite galaxy fields this season.

I tried to keep a balance between preserving faint galaxy detail and avoiding an overly sharpened look. Feedback welcome!
