Description

Abell 262 is a galaxy cluster part of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster, one of the largest galaxy clusters in the Universe. I made purposely the field of view large to capture as many as possible galaxies in the region. The cluster is about 200 million light-years away and spans near 40 degrees from the sky.
