This image shows an enlargement of an elliptical galaxy that is located to the west (right) in the Capodimonte Deep Field. The numerous tiny objects surrounding the galaxy may be globular clusters. The fuzzy object on the right edge of the field may be a dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The size of the field is about 6 x 5 arcmin 2. Technical information: this image displays selected areas of the field shown in ESO Press Photo eso0116a at the original WFI scale, hereby also demonstrating the enormous amount of information contained in these wide-field images. North is up and East is left.
