The NGC 507 Group of Galaxies is also known as one of the the pisces clusters. The NGC 507 eliptical galaxy lies at a distance of approximately 225 million light years. This cluster of galaxies is a member of the giant Perseus-Pisces supercluster I shot this image over 2 nights on the 29th and 30th October from my little backyard observatory in Fremont Michigan. Consisting of 29 x 15 minute sub exposures (7.25 hours) using the Canon XSi at 800 ISO mounted on the TMB 130SS F7 Refractor. This is a 1/3 crop and there are many more tiny fuzzies (galaxies) in the original image.

Raro asunto Miguel d'Ors* Raro asunto la vida: yo que pude nacer en 1529, o en Pittsburg o archiduque, yo que pude ser Chesterton o un bonzo, haber nacido gallego y d’Ors y todas estas cosas. Raro asunto que entre la muchedumbre de los siglos, que existiendo la China innumerable, y Bosnia, y las cruzadas, y los incas, fuese a tocarme a mi precisamente este trabajo amargo de ser yo. * De la Poesia de la semana - fecha [12/03/06]
