Description

Going for a few clusters under a lot of moonlight as these can still be captured with no other filter than UV/IR with 30 to 60 sec exposures.

This dense swarm of stars lies at the center of the globular star cluster NGC 2808. Of the about 150 known globular clusters in our Milky Way galaxy, NGC 2808 is one of the most massive, containing more than a million stars.
