Description

Abell 426 is a large group of galaxies found about 240 million light years from us, in the direction of the constellation Perseus, and because of that it is also known as the Perseus Galaxy Cluster.

The Santa Clara County is back in COVID-19 lockdown, so this backyard project is probably the only imaging project I’m going to complete in December. It is also an experiment in using NINA to repeatably image the same area over different nights (five, in this case) with good overlap.
