The image data itself is a stack of 9x20min luminance I took in 2013 with the CDK20 at ARO.
The custom filter definitions (which are new 'planes' in the Aladin software) are:
${V}<23 && $[src.class]="GlCl" {draw{V}}
and
${V}<23 && $[src.class]="GlCl" {draw red rhomboid}
BTW really well done on that image.
Best,

Wow there appears to be a lot of globulars that I have captured. Not out of the ordinary I am sure but I had no idea that there were so many. It being a smaller galaxy than our own from what I have read; I expected not many would be present. Thanks for putting that up.

I totally understand; the full frame has so many back ground galaxies to see, but the portrait style and stars on the edge of the field bothers me. Pity there were not enough guide stars for landscape.
