Globular NGC 6752 and friends

... very distant friends.

When I first starting processing this stack I was disappointed by the seemingly empty picture I got. It wasn't till up got up close to the pixel I realised there were a heap of faint galaxies in there too!

I'm pretty excited cause this is a bright sky I was imaging into.

I've attached the full frame shot, an annotated version and a crop.

There's just under an hour of images (I chucked out a bunch that weren't so sharp). 3 minute subs except for one lonely 4 minute sub. Flats and biases also.

AT65EDQ, Nikon D5100 at ISO800, IDAS LPF, HEQ5 Pro mounting.

Hope you like it.

No this is from the 29th of Sept. Just hadn't gotten around to processing them. It's just light pollution sadly.
