Abell 2061 is a galaxy cluster in the Abell catalogue.^[2] It is located in the constellation Corona Borealis and is 306 Mega Parsec away. On a larger scale still, Abell 2061, along with Abell 2065, Abell 2067, Abell 2079, Abell 2089, and Abell 2092, make up the Corona Borealis Supercluster or SCL 158.^[3] The Corona Borealis Supercluster is a Supercluster that consist of 8 galaxy clusters, namely Abell 2019, 2061, 2065, 2067, 2079, 2089, 2092, 2124.^[4]

It has a northeast southwest orientation and Abell 2067 lies 1.8 megaparsecs north of it.^[1]
