Description:
Within the constellation Draco there is a cluster of galaxies whose brightest components (NGC 5985, NGC 5982 and NGC 5981) form the group known as the Draco Trio. This is made up of two barred spiral galaxies and an elliptical galaxy, all visible in the same field even at longer focal lengths than mine. It is a rare and beautiful sight, both to observe and to photograph. Long exposure photography reveals that in the field of the Draco Trio there are hundreds of other distant galaxies, a true cluster a hundred million light years away from us.
