Sonyme Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Breath taking Peter. This might seem a stupid question but is the globular cluster in the foreground or within the starfield filling the rest of the image? The stars in the cluster are clearly a different colour to those surrounding it. Gary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Thank you Gary, Although it does look like a glob it's actually an open cluster called the Wild Duck Cluster so I could be completely wrong but I just think its part and parcel of the surrounding region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galileo Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 If jjb from the Astronomy Shed was here he would calculate the number of stars here! Nice one Peter, very interesting region of the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
