wow what a smashing set of images Mark,

very nicely processed to,

would love to have a go on these with my

Quattro but at at 800mm fl I think they

would be to small compared to your rc 10

well done

Brilliant stuff Mark, thanks for posting. I love these galaxy clusters. I find them humbling and moving when I consider what they represent. How many worlds and civilisations must be in these images?

The Pisces one is my favourie. If we could get rid of this infernal cloud I am bedeviled where I live I want to give galaxy clusters a go too!

Thanks guys,

Paul,

It would look fairly small with a refractor. To give you an idea here is how it looks with 4''/560Fl:

These are a really nice collection of galaxy images Mark - and I confess I've never heard of one of them before, but there are some real gems in there. All of these would be out-of-bounds for my 4" refractor as you show with the link you've posted above. Of the collection you've posted I especially like NGC 7726 and NGC 7549.

Hi Mark,

Thanks to you and prople like you that bring us images of such galaxies that our humble instruments and inadquate techniques will not allow us to reach, we are able to glimpse at other worlds.
