Les, Tom, Phil, Malcolm, Steve, many thanks for all your input on this topic. Doesn't make the case really easier, but at least I know now what Heinrich...
Kenneth and Mike, I agree with you boththat the H-beta does work better on the region around B303 morethanthe UHC and OIII. I have had some luck with the OIII...
I observed this galaxy group in Perseus perhaps three or four years ago and had forgotten about it, and then stumbled on it again a week ago. My question about...
Hi Greg, Who knows, but perhaps the lack of that compelling nickname keeps the 1275 group from being better known. Howard Portland, Oregon ... [Non-text...
Well Greg; As a matter of fact, Tom Clark, the editor of Amateur Astronomy Magazine has a nickname for this galaxy group. To the north of NGC 1275, he calls...

Hi, Isn't NGC 1275 "Perseus A", and pretty much the center of the "Perseus Cluster?" Regardless, that is a really nice field; it ought to get more attention ...
I think that Markarian's Chain is popular because the galaxies are easy and accessible, and Stephan's Quintet because the group is very tight and compelling in...
Howdy all; I just posted version 3.3 of the SAC double star database onto the SAC web site: <http://www.saguaroastro.org> www.saguaroastro.org It contain lots...
I'd agree with Mikkel that the Perseus cluster is a much more difficult visual target than Markarian's Chain etc. The latter is straightforward in my Pronto...

Howdy; I think "Perseus A" is the radio astronomy designation for NGC 1275. Evidently it gives off lots of radio energy. Steve Coe ... From:...
... I believe Perseus A is given as a name for NGC 1275 because it's a radio source and "Perseus A" is not a common name as such. -- Best / Vennlig hilsen, ...

Hi Greg It's *very* well known indeed to galaxy cluster geeks - aka Abell 426. Dead easy in 16-inch+, Pretty neat in a 12-inch. Go ahead, call it whatever you...
Yes, Abell 426 shows 18 galaxies in a 45' field on good nights in the 12.5", and one glorious night through my friend's 28", 58 galaxies in the same size...
... Well, the answer is fairly obvious. The Markarian Chain (and much of the Virgo Cluster in general) is a relatively easy target for even some fairly small...

A few can be grabbed in a small scope. I've looked at 1272, 1275, and 1278 in the 105mm Traveler. Perhaps I should try for some others. Clear skies, Sue ......
David: What you say is well enough for Markarian's, but I have seen and read of a fair number of people straining at the eyepiece in a ten inch (or less!) to...
... Well, Stephan's Quintet's early notoriety seems to stem mainly from the redshift controversy which brought its name to light in professional astronomical...

Howdy all; I am going to assume that Tom Clark’s “River of Galaxies” is NGC 1278-77-74-73-72-70-67, as I said it ran along to the north of NGC 1275 and ...

Greg, I'll hazard a guess as to the Perseus Cluster's relative lack of notoriety. By the time Perseus is on the meridian in the evening sky, many folks are ...
