globular clusters in M31

[nytecam]

A fellow imager on the Video Forum recently asked about tracking down globulars in M31 and a search of my old image files came up with these two annotated sample fields taken with 30cm f/2.8 SCT and piggybacked 70mm f/5 frac - hope they're of interest.

Thanks for posting these, fascinating, it could not have been a trivial job tracking these globs down. I tried doing this on an image of part of M31 which I took last year, but i could not identify which bit of M31 I had imaged, so gave up. I put the image into Astrometry.Net, but it would not process it. Your results will spur me on to try harder!

Very interesting images. Thanks for posting.

Robert Glenders images are the best reference for M31 globs + the Hodge pro survey. Careful orientation of both reference and your own images essential to ID these faint objects in the mag15-17 range.

Thanks Nytecam, I will give these a go.
