... In spite of the lack of rich clusters around us and the presence of large volumes completely free from galaxies (voids), the mean luminosity densities and the mean density of hydrogen mass in the Local Universe is one and a half - twice as high as their mean global values. However, the mean local density of the baryon mass is only 2% of the critical density of the Universe, which is twice as less as the baryon density from the nucleosynthesis data (local paradox of the baryon mass). ...

Next: Other deconvolution tasks Up: Image Deconvolution Previous: Computation . If you have used multi-frequency synthesis in the imaging stage, you will have to have considered a fly in the ointment - the flux density of the source will vary with frequency (as well as spatially). For detection and low dynamic-range work, mild spectral variation can generally be ignored. ... The Miriad deconvolution task mfclean can be used to avoid this distortion. ...

However others are less pessimistic and it has even been claimed that the mysterious ?Wow! signal? received in 1977 originated from the direction M55.б  Sadly, this still unexplained pulse of radio energy originated from a location rather to the northwest of M55 so I doubt if the source was this cluster (if indeed the signal was genuinely of extraterrestrial origin). ...
