Astro: Abell 400
At the core of this cluster is the double galaxy NGC 1128. Each lobe
contains a massive quasar. A rather famous photo made by high resolution radio telescopes superimposed over a blue cloud of X-rays taken by the orbiting Chandra X-ray telescope is at: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2006/a400/ The jets are huge compared to the two lobes of NGC 1128. The two lobes and thus quasars are about 17" of arc apart. I've made no attempt to identify any of the other galaxies or even count them. Though The Sky said the one I used as the center of the photo (NGC1128 is slightly up and left of center) is UGC 11179. 14" LX200R@f/10, 7x5 minutes binned 2x2, STL-11000, Paramount ME Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

Great picture Rick. One of the many galaxies looks like a small version of
M82. Stefan "Rick Johnson" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... At the core of this cluster is the double galaxy NGC 1128. Each lobe contains a massive quasar.

Per Aladin that's MGC +01-08-028 at V magnitude 15.7. Type ScD.
