Ngc 6752

Not much of a fan of imaging globulars but here it is.

There are some background galaxies which are more interesting.

Great shot of a beautiful globular cluster Steven. This one is actually the 3rd brightest in the sky, and very neglected, so it's nice to see an image of it every now and then. :)
Star colours in the field look really good and I do love the distinct white appearance of the cluster which makes it very intense and really conveys the crowded environment.
However, technically this and other globulars are all very red apart from a light sprinkle of Blue Straggler stars.

Beautiful shot Steven, colours are great and the core is just starting to blow out.

Great shot Steven.

Looking really good. Unlike others, I am a bit of a globular cluster junkie. Spent too much time studying them I think :P

[Paul Haese]

Quite an interesting looking field Steven. I really like the faint fuzzies in the back ground too.

Thanks Paul.



Thanks Colin. As an astrophysicist you should make some contributions to the Science Forum.



Thanks Greg.



Thanks Matthew. I was was worried about losing control of the core.:)



Hi Rolf.

NGC 6752 has a colour index (B-V) of 0.65 making it one of the whiter globulars. Generally red coloured globulars are obscured by dust in our galaxy.

A lovely attention-grabbing shot. Beautiful colour. The decision to let the core burn out helps maintain the overall punch of the image.

Best,
Mike and Trish

Beautiful glob Steven. Love your star colours and the background galaxies. Well done mate.

[RickS]

A very cute glob, Steven. Not as majestic as Omega Cen or 47 Tuc but it has some personality :) Nicely captured and processed.

Cheers,
Rick.

Really good image of this surprisingly seldom imaged globular Steve, nice work.

I tend to agree with your colour result too, I think NGC 6752 is indeed a rather whitish looking globular like this :thumbsup:

That's quite beautiful.
