Messier 98 (NGC 4192)
From time to time I obtain data sets from remote observatories. One of my favorite providers is Telescope Live with telescopes in e.g. Chile, Australia and Spain. One of the data sets I received, was data from the globular cluster M98 in the constellation Coma Berenices.
The images were taken with the following equipment (Telescope Live, CHI-1):
| Location | El Sauce Observatory, Chile |
| Telescope | Planwave CDK 24 |
| Focal length [mm] | 3962 |
| Focal ratio | 6,5 |
| Mount | Mathis MI-1000/1250 |
| Camera | QHY 600M Pro |
| Filter | L:R:G:B |
| Exposure time [min] | 135:130:145:145 |
| Resolution | 0,39″/px (bin 2) |
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
In the image were a llot of galaxies and quasars (see annotation). The most distant of them is:
WISEA J121258.55+145439.6 with a redshift of 2.0 an apparent magv of 21.5 (SDSS DR17).
The faintest star in this image has an apparent magnitude of approx. 22.6 magv (SDSS DR17).
