M22 – Globular Cluster in Sagittarius new
      #2622389 - 09/03/08 09:38 PM Attachment (21 downloads)

Imaging Camera: Canon Rebel XTi
Filter: IDAS LPS-2
Exposures: 20x60sec, ISO800, saved as RAW
Imaging Telescope: Meade LXD75 SN6
Imaging Software: EOS Utility, DSLR Shutter
Guiding Telescope: Meade DSX-90, DSI Pro, Envisage
Processing: Deep Sky Stacker, Photoshop

I came across this surprisingly large and rich globular cluster while deep sky hopping around Sagittarius with my ETX-125. I thought it would make a great target for my SN6/XTi, and it did.

It did indeed, John. Very nice with good focus and sharp, tight stars. Good job!
