A couple of weeks ago I did an attempt to image this cluster. Wasn't quite happy with the result. So I had a go at it again last night. This image consists of 25 frames, exposuretime 6 minutes each. The Canon 400D was set to ISO800. I used 15 darkframes to level out the background. No Flats nor Bias frames were used. This cluster has 500.000 stars and is one of the larges and brightests in our galaxy.

Moon on 12-03-2011
Was planing to go to bed but taking a last look of the sky made me change my mind - it was so clear and there was a beautifull moon. So the scope went out. And so did I :-).This "overview" image is made with the Canon 400D attached to the Skywatcher 8" telescope. I took 50 frames and stack them with Registax. Did some touch-up with Photoshop.
