While an awesome sight, you can only truly begin to see it if you get away from city lights on a moonless night. . With a wide-field multi-IFU spectrograph. Cluster studies. Clusters provide large samples of galaxies in a moderate field. Unique perspective on the interaction of galaxies with their environment.
