This is a picture of the Perseus galaxy Cluster Abell 426. It is one of the most massive structures in our galaxy and is standing at about 250 million lightyears distance from us. In its center is the very active Seyfert galaxy NGC1275, it is the 2nd most powerful radiosource in our universe. This picture was shot using my 200mmF5 Newtonian reflector with an Artemis 4021 moni in its prime focus. It is a combination of 7 20min exposures.
Here is a cropped and enhanced part of the picture above. The most bright galaxy is NGC1275.
This is an inverted version of the picture. Now you can see much more galaxies. The whole field of view is completely filled with them.
Here is an enlarged view on the center. If you look at NGC1275 you can see that it is not looking as a "standard" ellipsoid galaxy, it has flames coming out of it, pointing to the right and above.
