Description

Photos of galaxy clusters amaze me. I love looking through these types of pics at all the super small galaxies. I used Plan mode on the AAP to capture this target as well as the Flame and Horsehead nebula pic. I really like Plan mode to grab multiple targets. Thinking of using Plan mode to grab multiple open and globular clusters over several nights.  

I took this pic a while back but then had to travel for work a couple of weeks in a row and, of course, caught COVID. It put me down for a good 6 days, but now I'm back up and will catch up with everyone's awesome photos.
