Messier 75 (NGC 6864)
From time to time I obtain data sets from remote observatories. One of these providers is the Goldfield Astronomical Observatory with telescopes in Australia. One of the data sets I received, was data from the globular cluster M75 in the constellation Sagittarius.
The images were taken with the following equipment:
Location | Goldfield Astronomical Observatory, Australia |
Telescope | Takahashi Mewlon 250 |
Focal length [mm] | 2500 |
Focal ratio | 10 |
Mount | ASA DDM 60 |
Camera | ZWO ASI 094MC |
Filter | OSC |
Exposure time [min] | 65 |
Resolution | 0,40″/px |
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
M75 annotated
In the field were quiet a lot of quasars. The two most distant of them (see annotation) are:
WISEA J200544.04-215732.6 with a redshift of 1.9
WISEA J200602.41-221019.6 with a redshift of 1.3
