Globular Cluster Messier 10
Messier 10 (or M10) is a globular cluster in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is approximately 15,000 light years away. From Wikipedia, “A globular cluster is a spherical collection of stars that orbits a galactic core as a satellite. Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers.”
Tech Specs: Meade 12” LX90, Celestron CGEM-DX mount, Canon 6D stock camera, ISO 1600, 11 x 60 second exposures using Backyard EOS, 3 x 60 sec darks and 3 x 1/4000 sec bias frames, guided using a Canon 100mm lens with an attached ZWO ASI290MC camera. Image Date: September 9, 2017. Location: The Dark Side Observatory in Weatherly, PA.
