M68--My Second Globular Cluster

[kiwiapple]

Thanks to the encouragement of those of you who saw my recent attempt at M70, I thought why not give another cluster a try when the target I was waiting for was still below the horizon? This is M68, AKA NGC4590, located in Hydra. This is a relatively short capture, only 116 2-minute captures (but in four separate filters, LRGB), but I like the colours and there is still some evident separation among the stars int he cluster itself.

That's pretty cool James! You retained a lot of detail in it, and that's some great color.

Wow, I love this group! So supportive! Thank you very much for the nice comments.

James, nice job on this and fun to see a wider view. To my eye perhaps a little bit of a greenish cast to the results, perhaps just my monitor. In any case a nice job on this one, thanks for posting.
