Galaxy Cluster Images


During several of the holidays at COAA I took the opportunity to image several Galaxy Clusters and as I process and identify the galaxies on the images I will be putting them here. This does go to show what can be achieved with modest equipment - a 6" F6 Newtonian and a CCD such as the SX, some images were also taken with a 135mm lens + the SX. All images are copyright Paul Money/COAA.

I hope you enjoy looking at them and perhaps may think to have a go yourselves.

By clicking on the images below you will bring up a higher resolution view and by clicking on that you will bring up an image with the Galaxies identified.
