Description

I thought I would post this cluster image as a contrast to the Abell 2255 cluster. This one has fewer bright blue spirals than 2255. Its really amazing to me to compare the size of the huge ellipticals forming the backbone of this cluster to the rest of the galaxies in the cluster.

The brightest and largest elliptical at the center of the field is PGC 54768.
