Thank you, Adrian and Atalas. My intention was to evidence the core population of cluster. But I wasn't well, due to limitation of camera Canon and seeing. The different blue star generation aren't well resolved.

I saw at internet information that his size is abou 24 light years and he has 1,2 million of stars. Similar to Omega Centarus there is possibility that they are reminiscence of core of dwarf galaxies annexed by Milk Way.

No matter, at least it was done !

Lovely little glob that and nicely imaged Jorges, I like the four variations display too

On those rare occasions when I use my eyeball I usually have a look at this little beauty if it is up. Actually, it was also one of my first ever deep sky images taken way back in 1984 (I was 16) using a Cold Camera..not quite as good as your modern effort (it is a poor scan of a print though)

Viva NGC 2808

Thanks, Michael and Adrian.

Michael, with 16, you did what I am doing with 61. And you showed me that I am erroneous speaking bad about my old Canon. I must keep quiet and work more !

I haven't the camera that I desire, but I have a camera.
