Abell 779 galaxy cluster + a distant quasar

[Datalord]

I love these galaxy clusters and I have access to so many at this time of year. This one is Abell 779, 300 million light years away. I counted 36 galaxies of various size, but there are probably a few more lurking. 

I found out that my Lum contained a quasar. At 12.1 billion light years away, this is the farthest object I have imaged.

Very nice image I always enjoy the Abell clusters.

Great image and total respect for capturing those mega ancient photons.👍

Incredible.

12.1 billion LY! That time and distance just boggles the mind.
