Description

Here is an attempt at globular cluster M28. This cluster just about reaches 10 degrees altitude from my location and with a bit of judicious imaging I can just capture it for a brief period hovering over my observatory wall. I tried to collect data over a couple of nights, but on both occasions the green data proved unusable, so this image comprise just a handful of RB subs from which a synthetic G was included to produce the RGB image.

The cluster is seen against a rich starfield background looking towards the center of our Milky Way galaxy.
