Abell 2670 is a rich, compact cluster of galaxies dominated by a very large central cD galaxy. A new method of galaxy photometry was used to obtain its luminosity function, which resembles that of Coma and other clusters. The cD galaxy has an elliptical-galaxy core and a diffuse envelope which was traced to almost 1 Mpc and which probably fills the cluster. On the assumption that it does, the mass-to-light ratio of the cluster is 255 plus or minus 117 M/sub sub solar //L/sub sub solar /. (au th)
