C79 (ngc 3201)

[DiscoDuck (Paul)]

14 x 20 min frames with a QHY8 OSC camera and an RC8 scope of this globular cluster in Vela.

Its centre is quite sparse so was hoping to resolve it as much as possible, despite fighting against not brilliant seeing and my stock GSO focuser! (Moonlite is on the shopping list ).

Full res available here on Astrobin.

Thanks for looking.

Nice choice of object, Paul. I wasn't aware that inhomogeneous globulars existed.

Cheers,
Rick.

Thanks Rick. Yes, apparently M4 is the only other one.

You have done quite a nice job in resolving the cluster. I wonder if it has recently had a close pass with another cluster, that would cause the apparent cluster structure.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Very elegantly done, Paul. Nice one.

[Paul Haese]

The resolution looks good Paul.

Thanks Bart. I'm hoping though that it's not scored out of 100 quacks!
