Description

Second target I was able to image at Al Faro Resort in Busuanga (PH) last April 12th. Stacking of 46 single frame 60'' exposure at 800iso w/ Canon EOS 600D Astrodon.

This beautiful globular cluster lies about 16'000 l-y away in southern constellation Centauri. It is the largest and most luminous globular cluster in the sky.

Description: New stacking using DSS 4.1.1, drizzle method, no bias more. Improving processing with PixInsight. Background looks much better I think.
