About this image

Abell 2162 is a cluster of 37 galaxies in the constellation Corona Borealis. I've gone deep, with 98 x 600s luminance subs. For me this field is similar to the Hubble Deep Field image, with literally dozens of galaxies, but suitabe for those of us who can't afford a space telescope.
