The table below contains a set of snapshots from a deep image of the
ms0302 supercluster field. You can also explore the whole image via the

MS0302 field seen with the UH8K mosaic camera
These images were constructed from a set of 11 I-band and 7 V-band
exposures each of 15 mins duration taken at the CFHT telescope
and imaged onto the UH's 8K x 8K pixel camera.
The field contains two bright
X-ray selected clusters and also contains a third Dressler-Gunn cluster.
The intensity of the pixels (though not their colours) in this
rendering have been logarithmically scaled in order to reveal
both the bright galaxies and the much fainter 'cosmic
wallpaper' of background galaxies.
