Description

Galaxy cluster of galaxies around the elliptical NGC 3268, in the constellation of Antlia. It is the third nearest galaxy cluster.

Taken as RGB 3/3/3 of 300" each filter using Chi-1 telescope, a Planewave CDK24, 61-cm telescope, f/6.5, with Corrected Dall Kirkham optical design and advance form for individual observation request.

Now, looking closer it is quite amazing the enormous number of galaxies in the field, a lot of elliptical ones as well as other shapes too.
