M92 - Globular Cluster
M92 was first discovered by the German astronomer Johann Elert Bode in 1777 and it's approximately 27,000 light years away in the constellation Hercules. It has an apparent 6.3 magnitude and contains roughly 330,000 stars!!
This was an opportunistic target. I've been imaging a different target for the last couple of nights, and when that one disappears I still have under 2 hours left of darkness. I decided to use that "extra" time to image M92 as it only needs 30s to 1 minute subs. The two days of spare change added up to a total of 3.5 hours integration with around 250 subs.
I used my William Optics FLT132 with Flattener 68III (1.0x). Antlia Triband RGB Ultra filter and ZWO ASI2600MC Pro camera on a ZWO AM5 mount.
Pre and post processed with PixInsight and Affinity Photo 2.
