About this image

Following on from my image of the galaxy cluster Abell 1656 in Coma here is an image of another part of the Coma group. This was suggested by Andrew Robertson. The Box, or Hickson 61, is an arrangement of four galaxies in a rectangle. To the upper left of this image is the galaxy cluster Abell 1495 with hundreds of faint galaxies visible.
