Abell 2151 – The Hercules Cluster

[Back to Gallery]


In June, 2010, I managed to clean the RC mirror and chase an extremely distant galaxy cluster Abell 2151 in Hercules under very warm and humid conditions (75 degrees minimum/near 100% humidity).  I did 11 hours of LRGB on the cluster with the RCOS and Apogee unfrosted at -20C.
