russ Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Another from last night. This time M3 in Canes Venatici. A nice globular cluster that i've observed a thousand times but never imaged. Certainly in my top 25 deepsky objects for visual observing. Always looked really nice in the 10" LX200. Was going to visually observe it last night with the ED100 but the sky was already 50% clouded over, so i decided to just grab what images i could. Annoyingly the clouds swamped M3 after only 7 images. So this image is a stack of 7 x 1min @ 800iso.RegardsRuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
