M92b
M92 is one of the brightest globular clusters in the Milky Way -barely visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. It is also one of the oldest ones, having formed only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.
This image was taken 7-23-22 with the 1m Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma in the Canary Islands, Spain. The image was taken just as the sky got dark to focus the telescope. Therefore, the sky background is a bit brighter than it should be.
It consists of four 15 x 6 seconds exposures each in RGB and 15 x 2 second exposures in luminance.
