Description

NGC 288 is a globular cluster in the constellation Sculptor with an estimated age of 13.5 billion years and is about 29,000 light years distant. 
It has an apparent magnitude of 8.12 and is 13.8 arc minutes in size. 

Same data as before but BlurXrerminator used for comparison.  

It works wonders on star shape and  faint background galaxies but struggles with dark artefacts in the dense core which I suspect will be addressed as Russell release updates to the Version 1 AI Library.
