Description

NGC 6041 is one of many (200) galaxies within the Abell 2151 cluster. Located some 500 million light years away in the Hercules constellation, it is rich in interacting galaxies. Part of the Hercules Supercluster this group is part of the much larger Great Wall super-structure. It's beyond me as to which galaxy is actually NGC6041, but I am assured that it is in there somewhere. (Source Multiple Web Sites).

Used the Meade 12"LX200 at F7.5. Employed 99 subs at ISO1600 and 10 minutes each (16.5 hr) on 6/18 (12), 6/19 (10), 6/23 (9), 6/24 (13), 6/25 (12), 6/26 (8), 7/05 (5), 7/06 (13) and , 7/24 (17). Processing was done with PixInsight. This is a slight crop -- North is up.

Lots of small images throughout.
