Ptolemy's Jewels AG12

I forgot I grabbed this data last imaging session two weeks ago - ha bonus!

Because it was new moon and I thought what the heck...many of you will be relieved to know it is actually an LRGB and not narrow band

Taken with the 12" F3.8 Orion Optics Astrograph and FLI Proline 16803 this is the beautiful open cluster M7 in Scorpius and surrounding golden sands star field.

Here is a 50% resolution version (slight crop) try shrinking it in your browser to 75% and use full screen mode (F11)

And of course here is the whole album of various zooms, includng the full 1.8deg X 1.8deg version and close-ups of a cool planetary Neb near the main cluster and a globular cluster too

Cheers

Mike
