Description

Battle of the Globs? Yes, which is the best globular cluster in the sky? All the good ones are down south and the other obvious contender is 47 Tucanae. See my verdict in the description of 47 Tuc.

Another Omega Centauri??

This one is shot with the ZWO ASI6200 full frame camera and the Astro-Physics QUADTCC reducer. The previous one was shot with the Atik460 camera and no flattener or reducer. Same scope and everything else.

RGB 30 x 120sec each
