Description

First time to shoot a galaxy cluster. It is quite a challenge and surely requires more exposure time. This project also lasted two months and I completed the data collation last month. I wasn't satisfied with my pervious edit. Abell 1656 is also called: "The Coma Cluster". It is a large cluster of galaxies that contains over 1,000 identified galaxies.=10.5px Together with the Leo cluster (Abell 1367), they comprise the Coma SuperCluster.  This cluster is located in and takes its name from the constellation Coma Berenices. The mean distance from the earth is around 321 million light years.
