Deep Laniakea

Peter of SDM likes to have names for his creations, and I had intended my 20" to be titled simply 'Deep' but just a month before it was due for delivery in 2014 we had announcements re 'Laniakea' - so that was added to the name; with its meaning of 'immense heavens' and its association with the Great Attractor, and especially with its reminder of huge universe-shaping forces, it was ultra-appealing.
