Winter Southern Clusters

SPX350 F4.53, ATK-16HR/314L+, Baader RGB filters.

Don't normally bother with clusters but there are just so many in Sco and Sag. NGC3766 is in Centaurus called the Pearl cluster, 6067 is in Norma and 6231/6281 are in the tail of Sco, 6281 had a Full Moon. Wild Duck M11 is a beautiful dense cluster looking like a globular in binocs.

Usually 12x3min each for RGB.

Thanks, John.

Some very pretty little clusters, John. I like the ones with a nice mix of star colours best.

Some good star clusters there John! I agree with Mike that these objects seem to be overlooked somewhat by astro-imagers.

Really nice John, the first 2 appeal to me the most because of the mix of colours.
