THE GREAT CLUSTER IN HERCULES!This is a collection of over 300,000 stars, located in the constellation Hercules.This type of star cluster is known as a globular cluster, the stars are packed together more than a 100x more densely than our star is with its stellar neighbours.So densely in fact, that the stars often collide and form NEW STARS.Live view of what you would actually see through the telescope.A single 30 second exposure with my Canon 450d.18x stacked 30 second images and a bit of tweaking done in photoshop.The telescope used to image - Meade LX200 14 inch SCT. -- source link
