Messier 4 (NGC 6121) – 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 the data of Dr. Georg Piehler for the result.
The result shows the globular cluster Messier 4 located in the constellation Scorpius.
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight.


The images were taken with the following equipment:
- Location: Hakos, Namibia
- Telescope: TS 12“ Newton-Astrograph
- Focal length [mm]: 1391
- Focal ratio: 4,56
- Mount: 10Micron GM3000
- Camera: Lacerta DeepSkyPro2600 (mono)
- Filter: R:G:B
- Exposure time [min]: 15:15:15
- Resolution: 0,56″/px
