| Date Taken: Summer, 2007 Location: Idyllwild, CA Equipment: RCOS 12.5" telescope & STL11K CCD camera Notes: Globular clusters are among the oldest structures in our Milky Way galaxy. There are approximately 150 of these clusters in our galaxy. This collection of eight images represents about three months of imaging efforts. Most of the images were captured by remote control via the internet. I hope this gallery will show the viewer the wide diversity of structure in globular clusters. |
| M12 - Globular Cluster in Ophiuchus Magnitude 6.1 Size - 16' LRGB = 150/90/70/60 Look for the little PGC galaxy lurking in the picture |
| NGC6366 - Globular Cluster in Ophiuchus Magnitude 9.5 Size - 9.5' LRGB = 120/10/10/10 minutes |
| M13 - Globular Cluster in Hercules Magnitude 5.9 Size - 20' LRGB = 180/40/40/40 minutes I seem to shoot this one each year & hope I get a little better at it ..... |
| M30 - Globular Cluster in Capricornus Magnitude 6.9 Size - 12' LRGB = 90/30/30/30 minutes Never gets more than about 32 degress altitude |
