Perseus A Galaxy Cluster

My application for time on JWST for this was refused so I had to fall back on my 12" setup

I do have a liking of galaxy clusters even though not much can be revealed with modest amateur equipment so I decided on a short run on NGC1275 and friends while waiting on other targets to rise. The luminance was taken under good conditions but the RGB was over two nights which were of poor transparency. 4h total exposure reveals at least 100 galaxies in this field and rather surprisingly at this image scale, the start of some slight detail in the primary member NGC1275 which is a Seyfert galaxy. Hubble images show a web of Ha tendrils around this galaxy which you can start to see...maybe

Comments always welcome, hope you like it!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
