Messier 26 (NGC 6694) – VdS Remote Hakos – 12″
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 my own data for the result. The result shows the open cluster Messier 26 located in the constellation Scutum.
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight.
