M22 Sagittarius cluster

[Striker]

I Havn't done a Globular cluster for a while so I thought I would get a quick one in before the football.

Go Queensland.

6 x 4 minute exposure ISO800 with the same setup as usual.
Just taken 45mins ago.

very nice Tony.

Great one Tony! Is it supposed to be that pinkish/redish?

Very sharp and detailed!

[Striker]

Probably not Mike...but I didn't do any colour altering...just stacked and enhanced.

Being a modded a camera everything does look a little red so I may have to reduce the red channel like Tony Itchy told me to do ages ago...lol

I redid the image and lowered the red channel by a factor of .2

[EzyStyles]

beautiful Tony and plenty of stars in that shot!.

P.S. NSW was robbed LOL, no, not really as QLD was hardly done by some video ref descisions, but it didnt change who won lol.

Wow Scott - you are a mine of information. Thanks for that snippet about the PN in M22 - it was a very interesting read.

Cheers

Very ordinary Tony:eyepop: , the centre of the cluster is not exactly in the centre of the image (deduct 3 points);) , there are too many focussed stars (deduct 2 points):D , there are no satellite streaks (deduct 4 points):thumbsup: , therefore that leaves you with 2/10:lol:

Another fine effort:)

Nicely resolved Tony,

and you got your wish with the footy results.

[tornado33]

No worries :)
Heres a shot of GJJC1 I took last year, at F11.2 (2x converter) through UHCS filter. Id love to see a full res. crop of Strikers image, thered be even more detail present I bet :)

[Striker]

Its a small planetary nebula inside the cluster....what can't you see it Lester.

Neither can I...hehehe

[Striker]

Wahoo...found it...somehow I felt like I have accomplished something...thanks Scott.
Slippery little sucker.

[Dennis]

Great stuff. Looks like a star, but I will believe you.

[tornado33]

Yep thats the one! I found it on your shot too.
It looks like a star but they say its a planetary nebula. I reckon a look through the AAT and we might see it visually lol.
