This is the time of the year to image globular clusters, some of my favorite targets. The bulk of them tend to be low in the southern sky which is a challenge considering seeing and refraction. M13 was included in the previous post. Several others acquired on the same night appear below. M55 was acquired on a later night. Images were averaged from 30x30s subframes acquired at 120 unity gain. Configuration was Celestron 8 , Starizona NightOwl 0.4x focal reducer, ZWO ASI294MC Pro CMOS camera. Update: Images reprocessed with GraXpert stretching and residual gradient removal.
