The Ross-Shanks Supercluster (2)
Not to be out done by all the very pretty pictures floating around the Durham boys' blogs at the mo, I've stiched together a image of (what I'm calling the) Ross-Shanks supercluster, named after it's two maniac discovers.
Supercluster image.
The image is approximately 180 arcseconds on the side, is a composite created by the STIFF package (cheers Noz and JG) using imaging from the Suprime-Cam instrument on Subaru. The B, r' and i' bands are used.

very nice! the structure looks slightly like a large 'S'. coincidence?
Ahhh. I see what you're saying now!
Coincidence? Maybe. Professors can appear to have God-like powers on occasions... :-)
Nice, I shall be touting the RS supercluster at every opportunity.
