Description

LRGB on NGC 2808, on CHI-1 telescope, it is a Planewave CDK24, 61 cm telescope with Corrected Dall Kirkham optical design. Data from 1 Click Telescope Live system.

There were 2/2/2/2 images of 600" each. Luminance data was not usable, the core was fully burnt.

This is a very beautiful globular cluster from Carina.  bit of information can be found in wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_2808 However, it is worth to mention that people from Padua discover that this cluster contain stars from three generations, which is a kind of weird or atypical for globular clusters.

Description: Complete new data analysis, since luminance was not usable, a synthetic luminance was created. Colour calibration and comparison with professional images was done. Slow stretching keeping colours in balance avoiding purplish as in my previous version.
