A Cluster in Pavo

[atalas]

Hi all

I wanted to share with you all, a shot of the wonderful globular cluster in Pavo called NGC 6752 I took a few months back.

I believe that this cluster is about 15 thousand light years away,but please don't quote me on that.

This one was shot from my back yard in Bankstown with the ZS 105 through an SXV-H9C/IDAS-filter with an exposure time of 4 minutes x 15 .

This image has been cropped and I hope you all enjoy It.

Louie,

There's some gorgeous colours in there -- so many different coloured stars.

A brilliant cluster.

Well done.

Regards,

Hi Louie, thats a great image, very detailed and lots of colour through it as well. You are doing very well to capture these in Sydney with all the light pollution. I imagine it must be quite difficult at times.

cheers

Man If you have ever been lucky enough to have been introduced to some of these star city's in large aperture your head will never be the same again !

Hey guy's that reminds me,Zane Hammond has now a 24"goto oparating at Magellan Observatory ! so a huge opportunity for us all to get a look though a humongous scope !

WARNING!

Viewing through large telescopes may cause dissatisfaction with current equipment and lead to the viewer contracting aperture fever.

This condition may be very expensive to treat with no certainty of a cure.
