Abel 1314 and 4 quasars

Another Abell cluster to my collection. I had a fun Sunday scavenging information about parts of this cluster.

Here with the PI annotated version:

Equally interesting are 4 QSOs in the image. It's not exactly easy to map the image to the identifications of the QSOs, but I checked a few times to make sure I found the right dot in the image.

2.17 billion light years:

8.83BLY:

10.39BLY:

And finally a redshift z=3.076 which is beyond 11 BLY:

I agree, it feels funky, but the sensor itself is actually quite sensitive in that spectrum:
