This picture was taken during a lunar eclipse. The globular cluster M53 is barely visible (in the lower yellow sqare at 1 o'clock position relative to a reddish star). The 6 mag bright clobular cluster M3 shines in the upper yellow square. None of the galaxies of the Coma galaxy cluster can be seen.
