Description

My first attempt at this faint cluster in Virgo - I will have to come back to this - poor seeing and I think I'm tempted to take either longer exposures or more shorter exposures... My mean adu in SGP for 2 min was 1200. I think I'm tempted to go to 60s and a lot more of them - like 10x. Also, please comment if you think I should be doing narrow band vs LRGB on this one. I think LRGB is correct. Just poor processing based on lack of data really and poor seeing/focusing.
