Hello all,
one of the most impressive globulars in the sky is 47 Tucana, in the
constellation Tucana right next to the small magellanic cloud. It is the
second largest globular, second only to Omega Centauri.
Visually it is the most impressive however, condensed in the center, like a
much large M15,, and I was able to gaze on this while in New Zealand
through a C14. It is 14,500 LY away, and seen with the naked eye at 4.1
mag. It is 44 arc min in diameter.
I was able to make friends with an imager down there, Adrien Barrajon, who
will let me take his subs and process them.
Here is the first, 47 Tucana. This is 150, 60 sec subs on a 10 inch scope.
I stacked and processed in PixInsight. Enjoy. I will occasionally do
others in the near future taken from my "deep southern" imager. My original
is 24 MB so this is highly compressed.

Mario, nicely processed image. When I did my image from Sidding Springs, I was amazed at how many stars were in there and that they were somewhat resolved in the center.
