Coma Berenices is an inconspicuous constellation in the northern sky between Leo and Bootes.
With the naked eye, this cluster of faint stars is best observed on a dark moonless night. In Central Europe, the constellation is quite high in the spring sky, but is hardly visible in light-polluted skies.
