Popular Post Magellan Boy Posted November 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2023 I continue my tour of globular clusters with Caldwell 42 (NGC 7006) in Delphinus. The image comprises 104 x 20 second exposures taken on the 10th November 2023 using an Altair Hypercam 26C at 300 gain (plus darks, flats and flat darks), through an Orion Optics UK AG12 Astrograph mounted on an EQ8 mount. A 0.95x Wynne Corrector and Astronomik CLS-CCD filter were also employed. No guiding was required for these short exposures. Images were acquired using SharpCap, and the processing was entirely performed in PixInsight. If you zoom in you may be able to spot some faint galaxies here and there. +Ibbo, +DaveJW, +Glafnazur and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 That really is distant. Nicely captured. Magellan Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Streetbob Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I like the way it reveals itself as a cluster as you zone in. And I spotted some far away galaxies too. Magellan Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, its 100,000 light years further away than M15, which I imaged on the same night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
