Scientific paper

Relative distances of 16 clusters of galaxies in the redshift range from 3000 to 11,000 km/s are measured using the I-band Tully-Fisher relation. Different techniques of deriving distances of clusters using a distance indicator are discussed and compared in regard to the sample selection bias. The large-scale peculiar velocity field as traced by our sample clusters is found to be highly nonrandom, and appears to be a coherent flow, in the cosmic microwave background frame; the flow is towards the general direction of the 'Great Attractor', with an amplitude of some 400-600 km/s at the position of the Local Group.
