Description:

ACO 2197 is a hidden galaxy cluster in the constellation of Hercules. There are so many eliptical, spiral, and irregular galaxies but the brightest three are NGC 6160, NGC 6173 and NGC 6175 and were all discovered by William Herschel in 1787. These galaxies have also very interesting dust halos wich was the most challengning thing to proccess, however, Im more than pleased with the result!
