Description

This was a quick series while waiting for the "Statue Of Liberty Nebula" (NGC3576) to rise. Being the biggest globular in the milky way, even at 17000 LY away its a pretty easy target!

Quattro 200mm f4 + ZWO 294MC, oag guiding, NEQ6.

27x120s, 120x, -5degree.

(Of course 27 is an odd number -- they didn't all come out so that "easy target" line above was a bit cheap! There's nothing certain in this business!)
