Messier 70 (NGC 6681) – 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 Kai-Oliver Detken for my result.
The result shows the globular star cluster Messier 70 located in the constellation Sagittarius. Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight.
This image shows two asteroids:
99998 1981 ED48 with a magnitude of 19.1 mag and 178531 1999 TE292 with a magnitude of 20.05 mag.
This image also shows some quasars. The most distant of them is:
WISEA J184404.55-323336.3 with a redshift of 2.5 an apparent magv of 17.74 (SDSS DR17).
