hercules clusters

[alacant]

Hi everyone

After our galaxy session ended at around 02:30, we went on to sunrise with these. Each is 66 minutes in 3 minute frames, limited by -what we thought would still be- the gibbous searchlight. In fact it was well out of the way by then, but when you're setting the scheduler early evening and you don't need a head torch...

What is strange is the difference in the local star-fields in front of each globular; the processing was along the same lines -StarTools 1.7- for each. You notice the same thing when comparing fields in e.g. Cygnus and Sagittarius. These two however are in the same constellation. Most likely my non parallel (equal?) processing.

Anecdote: we've never been able to get anything but a mush for the centre of m92, but this time with sparse attention to detail, it's popped out a bit. The more you try the less... etc, etc.  

Thanks for looking and do post your dslr globulars.
