M107 Globular Cluster
Physics major Daniel Puentes has started a project of observing the Messier list of objects from the FIU Stocker AstroScience center. To initiate this project, Daniel made images of the globular cluster M107 on July 10, 2015 at the Stocker AstroScience center with the Stocker 24" main telescope. He used RGBL filters and sixty second exposure times to capture the globular cluster located about thirty kilo-light years away from Earth. The images were reduced in MIRA and color combined. This globular cluster is thought to contain about two-hundred-thousand Solar masses of stars within about forty light years.
The initial reductions were done by Daniel Puentes and the final color combination by Dr. Webb.
