Ngc6441

Processing some data from a couple of weeks ago.

"The cluster NGC6441 is located 5 arc minutes east-northeast of the star G Scorpii, and is some 44,000 light years from the Sun. ...This is one of the most massive and luminous globular clusters in the Milky Way, with an estimated 1.6 million solar masses of stars."

Still a hard target being small and faint. I tried to process it gently. Might need some more work yet. GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, 165 x 30 seconds, Canon 1100Dfs, HEQ5 Pro unguided.
