    Isn't A2597 a galaxy cluster, rather than just a single one?

    Although I guess that makes it even more impressive!

    You're right, Abell catalog contains galaxy clusters.

    Edit: if you add two hairy hands on both sides of the original picture, then you have a dirty picture comparable to the Eye of Sauron. ;)

    nah, that post is a throwback to the good 'ol days at Sierra's ITF forums.

    No one will guess it, unless they look up one of the old "Name meanings" threads. :D

    I see the handless version of "Crap Nebula" (not the M1 in the Messier catalogue) is more popular... I'm sorry if I jeopardized someone's mental health. =)
