"great image, btw what mag are the foreground stars just to get an appreciation of the depth of the field?"

Hi again hOughy,

The bright stars are SAO 179041 4.87 & SAO 179027 6.65

The galaxy cluster is 300 million light-years away and contains several hundred members.

Here is a final version of the image with IP help by B.M.

Holy schmoley!!!! That's great Pete.

Makes me feel very small and insignificant in a very cool and comforting sort of way

But very well done!

I just noticed, the galaxy with the face on spiral superimposed on an edge on one is right up middle top of image

It was imaged by the HST.
