Description

During the gray nights of 13th and 14th of june I took 4,5 hours of 5 minute pictures of the Hercules Cluster (Abell 2151), this is a cluster of about 200 galaxies. This cluster is about 500 million light-years away from earth in the constellation Hercules. It is rich in spiral galaxies and shows many interacting galaxies. The cluster is part of the larger Hercules Supercluster. The cluster's brightest member is the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 6041.
