Description

This is a picture of Messier 30. It is a huge Globular Cluster containing around 150,000 stars with a combined mass of around 160,000 times that of our sun!

It's huge, at around 93 light years across so it can be seen with good binoculars I am told.

Lum = 177 x 60s Chroma
Red = 166 x 60s Chroma
Green = 157 x 60s Chroma
Blue = 148 x 60s Chroma

Total = 10.8 hours
