My Astrophotography
Globular Clusters


Globular Clusters are small satellites islands to our own galaxy, Milky Way. A handful of them are very bright and easy to take photos of. But they are small and a telescope or a 500 mm telephoto lens is needed.

Comments:

If I had taken those photographs today (2025) I would use the following of my equipment.

Camera Lens / Telescope Reducer / Barlow Mount Comment
Nikon D800 TS130, 910 mm x1 SkyWatcher EQ6
Nikon D800 Pentax 300 mm x1 SkyWatcher HEQ5 When I want some surrounding to the cluster

M3 and M13 and some other globular clusters are bright and make me able to catch them even with some light pollution.
