Description

In January I did two session shooting Abell 426, the Perseus Galaxy Cluster. The weather was unstable so I could only reach a little more than 4 hrs total. Nevertheless a lot of galaxies are visible in this cluster which is supermassive and part of the Pisces-Perseus supercluster. NGC 1275 and NGC 1272 are in the center of the photo. Of course a lot more data will be added after next seson... hopefully. Enjoy...
