Description
We report on an ongoing project to map a 15 degree x 15 degree region in Coma Berenices with the new 74 MHz receiver system of the VLA. The field is centered on the Coma cluster of galaxies. Coma Berenices has been observed in all VLA configurations, which allowed us to resolve several hundred point sources with 35 arcsecond resolution. We have successfully detected the diffuse emission from the Coma cluster radio halo, radio relic, and radio bridge. Difficulties and strategies of the observation and data reduction are discussed. Preliminary results are given.
