Descripción
First results of a photometric study of the richness=2 Abell Cluster 2443 at z=0.103 are presented. We have developed a new algorithm to perform a detailed morphological classification of 34 galaxies brighter than R=21.5 in the central region (2.5'X2.5') of the cluster. The algorithm corrects for the effect of the seeing which affects systematically the determination of the morphological parameters in the case of small angular objects. The intrinsic ellipticity of the objects has been taken into account.
