Description

M3 - Mag. 6.3 Globular cluster in Canes Venatici.

25 x 180" light frames

15 darks

15 flats

30 offset/bias

ISO 800

Waxing gib. moon - so not ideal conditions - but thought I'd take a stab at it anyway as nice nights have been rare lately. Looks like I might have been able to get my focus a little tighter.

This was with Cel. .7x focal reducer. Maybe I'll try it again at native FL and see how that looks.

This was my first shot of a glob... any comments and criticisms are most welcome!

Thanks for looking!
