NGC 6712 Globular and IC 1295 Planetary in Scutum
NGC 6712 + IC 1295 in Scutum (APO120 Ra).jpg
This is the 8th magnitude globular cluster NGC 6712 (at right) next to the 12th magnitude green planetary nebula IC 1295, both in Scutum the Shield and in a rich starfield. The globular appears yellowed by interstellar dust? They form a visual duo that is obvious even through the eyepiece of a telescope of modest aperture.
Technical:
This is a stack of 16 x 6 minute exposures with the Askar APO120 refractor at f/7 and with the Canon Ra at ISO 800. Taken from the Quailway Cottage in southeast Arizona on October 8, 2024 with the waxing Moon up and below the field.
