Not sure whether this fetish will last but here are some more while it does.  This time taken from Kelling Heath, bear in mind that these are all single exposures of 180s and the same pixel scale as the last set.


NGC5897




M107




M12




M10




M14




M71

very nice,

Now you've finished the Messier Marathon :cheesy:
are you going on to do the caldwell one?

Robert,

It's really interesting and instructive to see all those globulars taken under the same conditions.  Well done!

They are very impressive for single shots... It might be a fun exercise one night to see how many messier objects you can image with single shots.... (galaxies & nebs included).

Great work anyway..

RobertM

Thanks.  I think I'd really like to go much deeper with the last two as there are so many dust lanes already showing up in that short an exposure.

I love looking at globular clusters, they seem so 3-dimensional, but I haven't really considered imaging them. Your suberb shots have inspired me to have a go.

RobertM

Thanks Duncan.  Apart from M13 two years ago I do think I've rather ignored them till now, it also seems to be that Globular time of year ...

Well you did do well Robert. What a crowded part of the sky M14 M71 are in. Worth doing as a lot for your money!!
