47 Tuc

Globular cluster 47 Tucanae. 1 hour of 150 second and 180 second exposures taken from my light polluted backyard in Canberra. Several other globular clusters appear in the image, these belonging to the Small Magellanic Cloud which is just making an appearance at the bottom right of frame.

This is an 80% crop of the full image from a Nikon D5100 at ISO 800 on AT65EDQ scope with an IDAS light pollution filter. Subs were stacked and corrected with bias and flats in DSS. Post-processing in Adobe Photoshop.
