Perseus Cluster of Galaxies

Revision title: Re-processed with BlurXTerminator and NoiseXTerminator

Another deep field image which shows the central region of the Perseus Cluster of galaxies (Abell 426). This image is worth looking at the full resolution. There are hundreds of background galaxies.

The cluster is one of my favorite deep sky object. It contains thousands of galaxies immersed into a cloud of gas. NGC 1275 in the center of the cluster is a gigantic elliptical galaxy. The Perseus Cluster is a part of Perseus–Pisces Supercluster.

Revision B has been annotated with SIMBAD catalog.

Thanks for looking,
Vitali

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
