Southern Globular 47 Tuc

[MattJenko]

Bit of iTelescope action - 4 hours LRGB on T32. 3 min L subs and 60 sec RGB.

It's a great globular, I saw this with bins when I went to Australia a few years ago. 

That's a great image.  Lovely star colour.

You seem to have one very long spike on your brights stars. Not seen that before.

Incredible Matt, a beautiful object and amazing quality image, very well processed. Very compact and small core for a glob. The equipment is a slight step up from the ED80 on the HEQ5! 🙂

Seems to be in the calibrated Lum subs I got from iTelesceope. There appears to be a similar effect on the Glob itself with a faint light shadow under the glob center itself. Would love to get a chance to see this with my own eyes.

Thanks Rob, long time, and yes, although I would prefer some of my own subs, despite the ones from iTelescope being rather nice! That FLI 16800 chip really makes my little Atik feel a little inferior...

Ah didn't notice this was a remote image.
