Scientific paper

A galactic cluster was observed at z = 0.69 with the 3.6-m ESO telescope at La Silla. A graph is given of the 'background' galaxies and total number of cluster galaxies expected in a 10 x 10 arcmin field. The probability of cluster detection was computed as a function of the signal to noise (and therefore as a function of z) both analytically and using 3,000 simulations for clusters varying in terms of richness and population. It was found that the evolution of galaxies enhances the cluster visibility.
