MarsG76 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hello Astronomers, Sharing an image of my favourite globular for observation, NGC 6752, also known as the Great Peacock Globular or the Pavo Cluster, is a globular cluster in the constellation Pavo. It is the fourth-brightest globular cluster in the sky, after Omega Centauri, 47 Tucanae and Messier 22, respectively. It is best seen from June to October in the Southern Hemisphere. I remember seeing this object in the eyepiece and the view was fantastic, and I was thinking that I have to image that globular cluster. This cluster, even though smaller, is a more interesting eyepiece sight than even the huge Omega Centauri Globular which is impressive in itself... but the Pavo Cluster has the edge due to it's mix of very bright and very dim strs, where as Omega Centauri stars are generally all of a similar brightness. This image was exposed using a 8" SCT (at the native 2032mm focal length), with a QHY268M camera. The total exposure time of this image for all of the LRGB filters was 6 hours and 2 minutes. Exposures: L:34x300s @ FW:31, R:20x120s G:19x180s B:19x300s @ HCG:62/OFS:25 Clear Skies, Mariusz 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
