Interesting Galaxy Clusters

By interesting I mean clusters in which I was able to observe at least three cluster members in a 17.5-inch scope. Abell galaxy clusters are often referred to as AGC ___ (Abell Galaxy Cluster), if from the original Abell catalog, or as RCG ___ (Rich Cluster of Galaxies), if from its southern extension. They are sometimes also referred to as ARC ___ (Abell Rich Cluster).

To convert redshift (Z) to approximate distance in million light years, simply multiply by 15,000. For redshifts greater than about Z = 0.1, e.g. quasars, use the formula: (Z / Z+1) X 15,000.
