Description

I'm fascinated by the incomprehensible  size and distance of galaxy clusters.   This one is fun to zoom-in and peruse.  My target was NGC6050.   I wanted to see if the shape of NGC6050 could be seen in my 4 inch refractor, it can, but it takes a little imagination.  When I  look long enough I see strands/patterns emerge like in the upper left corner near NGC6034 .  Also, I can barely see the tidal-tail of NGC6041 and the jet of IC 1182 .
