Description

Abell 1631 is a faint cluster of 34 or more galaxies located approximately 600 million light-years away in Corvus. 

The brightest galaxy in this field is 13.3 magnitude so a fair result with a 5 inch refractor under difficult seeing and transparency conditions.

With luck I may be get some cleaner data before the seasonal window closes and it is no longer well placed with trees to my north itching to spoil the show.
