Description

This image was shot into the Tucson sky glow over two nights and was never above 30 deg above the horizon.  There are over 30 galaxies visible in this image of the 157 galaxies in the cluster.  Two bright orange stars dominate this field and were a challenge to deal with.  Mouse over the image to see the individual galaxies.
