Messier 30 (NGC 7099) – remote
The most recent image of the globular cluster Messier 30 in the constellation Capricornus was taken at the VdS remote observatory in Hakos, Namibia.
As a member of the VdS remote observatory group, I have the opportunity to process my own data obtained there as well as the data of other users. In this case I used the data obtained by Kai-Oliver Detken for the result.
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight.
In the image you can find many quasars. The most distant of them is:
WISEA J214101.85-230114.0 with a redshift of 2.7 an apparent magv of 19.5.
The images were taken with the following equipment:
- Date: 2023
- Location: Hakos, Namibia
- Telescope/Lens: TS 12“ Newton-Astrograph
- Focal Length [mm]: 1391
- Focal ratio: 4.56
- Mount: 10Micron GM3000
- Camera: Lacerta DeepSkyPro2600 (mono)
- Filter: L:R:G:B
- Exposure time [min]: 60:30:30:30
- Resolition: 0.56″/px
In 2020 I received data of this object from the Goldfield Astronomical Observatory with telescopes in Australia.
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight.
The images were taken with the following equipment:
- Date: 2020
