Abell 2067 - Galaxy Cluster
Abell 2067 also belongs to the "Corona Borealis Supercluster" and is therefore located at a distance of almost exactly one billion light years in the western
part of the constellation CrB. In the AGC catalog Abell 2067 is listed as Distance Class 4 and Richness Class 1. This means that 58 individual galaxies
are assigned to the cluster, but unfortunately only a small fraction of them is visible in my telescope.

Under a dark rural sky, only 8 galaxies were visible in my 20" f/3.2, all of which are of course very faint because of their large distance. With averted vision, the
individual patches of light flash out of the darkness every now and then. They can then be held for several seconds until they become invisible again. A small
asterism of three stars makes it easier to find them.
