NGC 1851 Globular Cluster in Columba

[ourkind]

Hi all,

I took this last week whilst observing the space between NGC2070 and M42.

I used the ED80 and stacked 10x60sec subs.

The next time I point here I intend to use the C11 to get a closer look and increase the exposure times...

Looked for comparisons online and there are a few but not many examples so feel free to image it and share :)

thanks for looking and comments and suggestions always welcome!

Nice, Carlos!:thumbsup:

Thanks Laurie :)

Do you have any more scanned photohgraphs to share, the ones you posted the other day were very cool!

[Larryp]

Have to have a look, Carlos. I think many of my photos have been lost over the years.

Found a couple , Carlos.
Rosette nebula, Nikon 200mm lens at f4-1 hour guided-hypered Techpan film, using a Lumicon H-alpha pass filter.
The Orion widefield shows Barnards loop, the Rosette nebula and part of the North Orion Bubble. This shot was published in the July/August edition of Southern Astronomy magazine. Nikon 50mm lens at f2, 20 minute exposure through Lumicon H-alpha pass filter.
Once again, I have had to cut back the resolution of the scanner to be able to upload here-hence they do not magnify well.

Hi Carlos. Beaut little glob there. I envy your little round stars :)

Maybe a little tweek with the shadows and highlights/tonal width might get a bit more out of that glob. Not sure, just a suggestion:thumbsup:
I would like to see the comparison when you point the C11 on it :)

Wow Laurie I knew you'd have some beauties stashed away! They're really impressive, I can only imagine what they look like in the gloss of photographic paper! Thanks for sharing and if you find more definitely post them!!! We need a blast from the past forum :)

Thank Steve really appreciate your comments :thumbsup: I'll give that a go, plus I also like the idea of collecting more data and throwing it into DSS. Since I took this one it's been overcast every night, glorious clear sunny days but cloudy nights so C11 is hibernating. Soon though maybe tonight if I'm lucky :)

Round stars attributed to the guider I can't recommend it enough its really easy to use.
