Star cluster M5
Star cluster M5
First time I take a picture of a stars cluster (suns). In such a picture the focus and tracking must be super accurate for the stars to come out round and beautiful.
The M5 cluster is about 24,500 light-years from the solar system and contains at least 100,000 stars. Its diameter is about 165 light-years.
Image data after filtering bad frames:
200 frames of full color RGB, each lasting 10 seconds, total photography of 33 minutes.
Equipment:
Telescope: Skywatcher Quattro 200P
Tripod: Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 Pro
Camera: ZWO ASI2600MC-P
Guiding Telescope: Skywatcher 9x50
Guiding camera: ZWO ASI178MC
Focuser: ZWO EAF
