Description

A nice galaxy grouping in this cluster. You elegant spiral NGC 536 (an interesting barred-ring hypbrid spiral, type SB(r)b II) is about 200 mly away, and seems to just happen to be along our line of site to the other three large galaxies (NGC529, 531 and 542) and their smaller friends that are members of a more distant cluster that is 230 mly away.

Description: New and improved color. I wasn't retaining color proplery during contrast expansion in the previous version. Now you can see the blue in the arms of NGC536. A little less cropped down too.
