Re: APOD: The Hercules Cluster of Galaxies (2014 Jun 25)

I am a newbie, but how does one image galaxies 500 million light years distant when there are so many galaxies in front of it. For example, wouldn't the numerous stars and dust lying in front of the Hercules Cluster block our view of this cluster?

Can anyone tell me where is the object now that impacted the moon to make these craters? Thanks
