Optical imaging has been used to study the continuum color distributions of NGC 1275 in the Perseus cluster and the PKS 0745-191 cluster central galaxy, and the emission line flux of PKS 0745-191. Both clusters have strong cooling flows. The Hα luminosity of PKS 0745-191 is equal to that for NGC 1275/Perseus cluster. It is shown that the optical properties of NGC 1275 and the PKS 0745-191 central galaxy are very similar. The author discusses the amount of star formation in these two systems, the possible role of stars in providing ionization for the emission-line gas, and, by comparing the properties of the two clusters, comments on the interpretation of NGC 1275 and its peculiarities.
