Thanks Paul.

Thanks Colin. As an astrophysicist you should make some contributions to the Science Forum.

Thanks Matthew. I was was worried about losing control of the core.

Star colours in the field look really good and I do love the distinct white appearance of the cluster which makes it very intense and really conveys the crowded environment.
However, technically this and other globulars are all very red apart from a light sprinkle of Blue Straggler stars.

Hi Rolf.

NGC 6752 has a colour index (B-V) of 0.65 making it one of the whiter globulars. Generally red coloured globulars are obscured by dust in our galaxy.

Clear skies
