Description

Globular cluster NGC6752 in Pavo. With an apparent magnitude of 5.4 it is the 4th brightest globular cluster in the sky.
This image was captured 2 Oct 2024, with the target chosen simply as a stopgap while I was waiting for the Fornax cluster to reach a suitable altitude. What I hadn't realised until I processed the image was the 'easter egg' in the bottom left corner - the trio of galaxies NGC6769-6771, known as the Devil's Mask.
