M72

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

This is nothing to write home about but I've never imaged it before. It's the second and less impressive Messier globular in Aquarius the other one being M2 which I thought I had imaged once but apparently not because I can't find the image. Seeing conditions varied from absolutely lousy to quite good at times.

Cheers

Steve

Pinpoint stars, excellent colour, resolved all the way in. Looks so three-dimensional!

Tight and well resolved Stevestar color is off a bit...there's no pink stars dude.

Still,I love globs,especially the less imaged ones and clusters are great for filling in time between other projects.

You've inspired me to start shooting some when I get the new mount up an running.....thanks Steve.

Thanks Louie. I'm glad to be an inspiration to someone. Not with you on the pink stars though. I can't see any pink on my monitor.

Nice one Steve. Okay, maybe not a "glamour" image but that's not the point is it!!

Definitely no pink stars in there (on my calibrated Eizo monitor).

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

Thanks Marcus. You are correct. It's just an ordinary globular which I've never imaged previously.

Time for new glasses then

Nicely done Steve.
It's an attractive photo of a colourful little cluster.
Well done.

A very pretty little glob, Steve. I also reckon it has a nice 3D look to it.

Thanks Rick. A few people have said that. M2 is actually the more impressive globular so maybe I'll do that some day.
