47 Tucanae
My first attempt, well sort of, is 47 Tucanae. Taken last October, but I've only just got around to doing anything with it - I'm still mostly a visual astronomer.
I've experimented in fits and spurts with stacking and post-processing but found that I had slightly more detail in a single frame with a simple gamma adjustment than with the stacked output. I will probably play around a little more with stacking/processing to see if it gets any better.
Compared to others' efforts, it's a little like a finger painting held up to a Da Vinci - as it doesn't seem to be finely resolved - but then we all have to start somewhere, I suppose.
It's a single 60s exposure, ISO400, from a Canon 600d through an ED80 at f/6.3. Centre cropped to 1024x768. A simple gamma tweak is the only processing.
