Cluster of galaxies in Lynx

[Xilman]

NGC 2340 is the brightest member of a rather nice small cluster of galaxies in Lynx. Most members are either E or S0 with bright condensed nuclei.

The cluster appears not to be very well known, which is rather a shame in my opinion. It contains  IC 458, 459, 460, 461, 463, 464 and 465 --- the latter also known as NGC 2334. --- as well as a number of fainter members.

This image was taken 10 minutes before Xmas Day in 2019 with a 810s unfiltered exposure on a 0.4m Dilworth-Relay.
