Wide-field view of the Perseus constellation

Click for larger image

The Perseus Cluster and erupting galaxy NGC 1275 are found within the constellation Perseus, the Hero. Although NGC 1275 is the brightest galaxy in the Perseus Galaxy Cluster, professional equipment is required to see it in any detail. However, even naked eye observers can see the Pleiades open star cluster in neighbouring Taurus (in the bottom left of the image) on a clear night.
