A slightly different Omega Cent...

[Peter Ward]

Playing with a new toy..as you do...and in this case a 50mm I/R pass filter.... I wondered what a globular cluster would look like if you looked deeper into the infra-red.

Ponder no more!

Some stars are remarkably red... many however look the same. I guess I'll have to try a few more objects ;)

Sharp as. There's a side-on galaxy at 3 o'clock that seems to have a strong signal in IR. Rho would be a good candidate see how many background stars you can dig out of those dark lanes.

Nice one Peter.

IR or NIR?

Nice Peter! Another side-on galaxy about 7 o'clock is quite bright, too

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Laurie... yes, I was surprised by how much stuff emits signal in the I/R



NIR +700nm and beyond.... that said, I could be tempted to look at a +800nm filter as well.



Thanks Marc....AP honders.. stupidly well corrected...:)...

Yep, I've got a similar hit list in mind :D

Very interesting, Peter. How long were the subs with the I/R filter?

[alpal]

That's an incredible wide field with such tight stars.

Looks good Peter. Try some of the more obscured globulars. They generally show up well in IR.

Cheers

An amzingly sharp and wide photo Peter.

Interesting view with the IR.

Ross.
