Description

This is Abell 1367, a galaxy cluster about 330 million light years away from Earth. It contains a galaxy with one of the largest known black holes (ngc 3842).

here we can see the full astrometric solution by Pix insight:

In this image we have: 35 NGC Objects, 144 PGC Objects and 206 quasars.

Unfortunately the cluster is very low in my latitude (~30 degrees) which makes capturing it very difficult, with a lot of atmospheric turbulence, chromaticism and little daily exposure time.

However I'm happy with the result, it is very reflective to capture these distant photons, coming from these colossal structures.
