M30 Jellyfish Cluster

[Startrek]

Only a short window of opportunity last Friday night ( cloud again ) so chose M30 Jellyfish Cluster a nice little globular cluster located in Capricornus.
Quite dim at magnitude 7.70 and only 12 arc mins in size , it has some unique little trails of stars emanating from the outer areas. The notable adjacent Star in the field is 41 Capricorni, a yellow K type giant Star and is 2.5x the mass of our Sun.
Seeing conditions were very ordinary

Nice one Martin. Seeing individual stars right into the core.

Great shot mate and absolutely lovely star colour! That’s a great target for a small window of opportunity. Well done!

Thanks Marcus , Richard and Dave,
It’s an unusual glob with those little short tentacles of stars
A fun target to image and ST does a really good job on globs with that new Spatially Variant PasF Deconvolution
Shame above conditions but it was great just to image anything at the moment
Well just put the last 12 months behind us and look forward to 2023
Cheers
Martin
