Messier 79 (NGC 1904) – VdS Remote Hakos
As a member of the VdS remote observatory group, I have the opportunity to use the VdS remote observatory in Hakos, Namibia. You are allowed to process your own data obtained there as well as the data of other users.
In this case I use the data of Yves Bastian for my result.
The result shows the globular star cluster Messier 79, located in the constellation Lepus. Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight.
In the image you can find some quasars. The most distant of them is:
MQ J052414.54-242649.6 with a redshift of 2.6 and an apparent magv of 20.9 (SDSS DR17).
