ASTRO: Perseus A galaxy cluster
Finally, everything went right though I'd planned 24 images and clouds
limited me to 11. Still it came out fairly well. Also known as Abell 426 it covers my full field of view and then some. Again, this is a double post. Second one will have the galaxies identified. Many are NGC objects. 14" LX200R@f/10, 11x5' binned 2x2, STL-11000XM, 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". |

Very nice picture Rick. These fuzzies are not too impressive individually,
but the sheer number of them makes for a great picture. Stefan "Rick Johnson" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... Finally, everything went right though I'd planned 24 images and clouds limited me to 11.

ASTRO: Perseus A galaxy cluster
If I counted right I identified 55 of them on the ID photo. Which I see
I forgot to name as ID in the subject line. Hope everyone found it. There are another dozen or so Aladin didn't seem to know. Though my M108 shot has nearly as many in the background, if not more but they are very small and faint. Most clusters are made of mostly elliptical galaxies it seems. They never are as interesting as spirals. Only one obvious spiral in this cluster. Odd how the large core galaxies of this group seem to be way off to the side. Least I'd think NGC 1272 and 1275 would be the core galaxies. Very little east of them however. Usually the core, like M87 and 84 and 86 are at the center of the Virgo cluster and the Coma cluster has two big ellipticals at its core etc. But here they are off to one side. Surprised me when I went to frame the shot. Rick Stefan Lilge wrote: Very nice picture Rick. These fuzzies are not too impressive individually, but the sheer number of them makes for a great picture.
