47 Tuc

Good evening.

I am guessing most, if not all, amateur astrophotographers have imaged 47 Tuc, but I have yet to get round to it until now.

Interesting globular to process given its extremely bright and tight core. I did not realise until I looked at the data that there is another globular 'close by', which adds quite nicely to this FOV.

Just 32 minutes exposure was all that was required through the RH305/SBIG STXL16200. Link to large version also on the page.

Thanks for looking.
