  4. Shorter night, continuous cloud cover - not much astrophotography opportunity lately. The Great Globular Cluster in the constellation Hercules is now well placed in the evening sky, 20 min total data.

  5. Messier 5, located in constellation Serpens, often does not get the attention of its more popular #GlobularCluster siblings such as M13. However it is a fine example (>100,000 stars! 🤩).

    6" refractor w/mono CMOS camera. About ~70min each in R, G & B. Captured over 4 nights in late March and early April (as weather and equipment permitted).

  10. Continuing my journey to process images from data captured a year ago. This data captured late 2024 and January 2025.

    In the upper right corner of the widefield view is #GlobularCluster NGC2419 (#Caldwell 25) - the "Intergalactic Wanderer". So called because it is well outside the Milky Way - it was perhaps yeeted out!

    In the lower left corner is a small galaxy PGC21517. Surprised it does not have an NGC/IC designation (that I can find).

  14. 📸 Globular Cluster Omega Centauri

    Omega Centauri, or NGC 5139, is the largest and brightest globular cluster in the Milky Way. Located 15,000 light-years away, it holds about 10 million stars — some older than the Sun.

    Its mixed stellar ages and compositions hint that it may be the remnant core of a dwarf galaxy.
