southern star cluster NGC 6067

[PhotonCollector]

Hello all,

Here's a reprocessed version of an image I did last month.
http://www.skylab.com.au/pmsa/NGC%206067.html
It's southern star cluster NGC 6067.

The image is 45-minute exposure (15 x 3 min. sub-frames) @ ISO200
with the modified Canon 300D on my observatory mounted
12" f/5 newtonian telescope and autoguided on a G-11 mount
with SBIG 402 CCD camera and 4.5" f/9 newtonian guidescope.

:) cheers

Looks great, nice tracking.

Is there any kind of filter or anything to take all those background stars out? It makes the picture confusing & takes the main focus point off of 6067. Just wondering :)

Not saying anything bad about your picture because it's excellent, so don't take it that way. All good! :thumbsup:

Lovely presentation of NGC 6067. Data is stetched very well and colour balance looks good. Slightly over saturated IMO, but still visually pleasing.

Thanks all for your comments. I agree Scott, it's a deep exposure and the population of background stars is totally awesome. It's another great Southern Skies Star Cluster that is rarely imaged. I should probably send this image of to our friends in the northern hemisphere.

Kind Regards
