M3 BG 200Q CC 11_04_2019STd
Globular star cluster M3
An incredibly compact ball of stars, containing some 500,000 burning balls of gas. 33,900 light years away from us and closing fast, at about 5,500 MPH.
150 exposures of 40 seconds each. All combined together with 200 calibration shots in a free program called DeepSkyStacker and post processed in StarTools.
Images were taken with a Skywatcher 8" reflector telescope and my Canon 1100d attached at prime focus.
