Description

This famous compact galaxy cluster seems to be around 100 millions light years away from us. A lot of deformation in the interacting galaxies can be observed in professional pictures.

This was one of my first pictures I took in 2018 with my Takahashi. Although the 450 mm focal length is too small for the details in the galaxies it is quite impressive what you can reveal with it. Take a look at the full version (it is not frequent that I upload pictures at 100% scale (!)).
