Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): L:R:G:B Exposure: 16x1m:8x1m:8x1m:8x1m blank
The globular cluster M2 in Aquarius. This image was acquired using an STL11000M CCD camera on a Tele Vue NP-127is. It is a color composite of 16 minutes of unfiltered luminance and 8 minutes each of red, green and blue filtered data. The images were calibrated and stacked and 32 iterations of Lucy-Richardson deconvolution were performed. The composite image was auto color balanced using AIP4Win V2. This image has been cropped down from its original size of 4008x2672. Clicking on the image will display a full-frame view
