Description

M7, the Ptolemy Cluster in Scorpius. I went out with our local astronomy group to our dark site last night. We were there to help 300 Physics students from the University of Wollongong with their Astronomy assignment. My task was to image M7 so they could see the single images coming in and then compare that to the final processed image once I put it up on their website. I had no idea how beautiful this cluster was until I started imaging it. 1.5 hours of 3 minute subs at ISO800.
