I Havn't done a Globular cluster for a while so I thought I would get a quick one in before the football.

Go Queensland.

6 x 4 minute exposure ISO800 with the same setup as usual.
Just taken 45mins ago.

very nice Tony.

Great one Tony! Is it supposed to be that pinkish/redish?

Very sharp and detailed!

Striker (Tony) · #4 05-07-2006, 09:54 PM

Probably not Mike...but I didn't do any colour altering...just stacked and enhanced.

Being a modded a camera everything does look a little red so I may have to reduce the red channel like Tony Itchy told me to do ages ago...lol

I redid the image and lowered the red channel by a factor of .2

Wow Scott - you are a mine of information. Thanks for that snippet about the PN in M22 - it was a very interesting read.

Cheers

Another nice shot Tony.

Very ordinary Tony

, the centre of the cluster is not exactly in the centre of the image (deduct 3 points)

, there are too many focussed stars (deduct 2 points)

, there are no satellite streaks (deduct 4 points)

, therefore that leaves you with 2/10

Another fine effort

Nicely resolved Tony,

and you got your wish with the footy results.

tornado33 · #12 06-07-2006, 02:32 PM

No worries

Heres a shot of GJJC1 I took last year, at F11.2 (2x converter) through UHCS filter. Id love to see a full res. crop of Strikers image, thered be even more detail present I bet

Please tell me what is GJJC1?

Thanks.

Striker (Tony) · #15 06-07-2006, 05:30 PM

Its a small planetary nebula inside the cluster....what can't you see it Lester.

Neither can I...hehehe

Striker (Tony) · #16 06-07-2006, 05:45 PM

Wahoo...found it...somehow I felt like I have accomplished something...thanks Scott.
Slippery little sucker.

Dennis · #17 06-07-2006, 06:41 PM

Great find Tony!

Cheers

Lester · #18 06-07-2006, 06:59 PM

Great stuff. Looks like a star, but I will believe you.

tornado33 · #19 07-07-2006, 01:18 AM

Yep thats the one! I found it on your shot too.
It looks like a star but they say its a planetary nebula. I reckon a look through the AAT and we might see it visually lol.
