Yep, chopped from Coma Berenices. To learn more about it:

[size=small]"Coma Berenices refers to the classical story of Berenice, wife of Ptolemy III of Egypt, and her long flowing hair. Around 1602, Tycho Brahe designated a particular unnamed region in the sky ‘Coma Berenices’ because Berenice’s classically famous hair could connect all those starry dots. Most people have never heard of it. What makes this region unique in astronomy is the abundance of spiral galaxies observable in medium to large size telescopes. They are simply gorgeous.

The beautiful galaxies and globular clusters found within Coma Berenices:

He'll get the Dynahi, though I may make him contribute some toward it. He wants MS2's--his wallet though. I'm recommending HD600's instead--we'll see. He gets access to next year's high-end TT, but it's MINE

. He gets a Yamaha CDC-625 disk changer--anything nicer comes out of his piggy bank.
