Globlular cluster M62
M62 (NGC 6266) is the globular cluster that is farthest south in Ophiuchus. Stellarium refers to it as the Flickering Globular Cluster, though I'm not sure why. The only flickering was because it was so low in my sky that it kept disappearing behind data lines and branches.
Shot with LRGB filters from my backyard in Long Beach, CA.
L: 27 30 s exposures
R: 20 60 s exposures
G: 16 60 s exposures
B: 17 60 s exposures
All taken with an Atik 414-EX mono camera on a Celestron Edge HD 925 at a focal length of 1530 mm. LRGB filters are from Optolong.
Pre-processing in Nebulosity; registration, stacking, channel combination, and processing in PixInsight; final touches in Photoshop.
