This looks like a galaxy cluster, but links to eclipsing binary star in simbad instead!

I am guessing that because this is DR10 the z values are not yet available? I wanted to know if all these galaxies where near the same redshift because they look like they are all part of the same cluster.

The default simbad search radius is 2 arcmins (120 arcsecs). The eclipsing binary is ~96 arcsec away. These galaxies just arent in simbad.

Exactly because if there’s nothing at this position it will automatically redirect you to a different galaxy. Most faint galaxies aren’t in SIMBAD.
Happy Easter!
