Messier 22 Globular in Sagittarius
M22 in Sagittarius (APO120 Ra).jpg
This is the large and bright (5th magnitude) globular star cluster Messier 22 in Sagittarius. It is one of the best such clusters in the sky, but often neglected by northern observers due to its low altitude from northern latitudes. The much smaller and dimmer (9th magnitude) globular NGC 6642 is at upper right.
The field of view is 2.4° by 1.6°.
Technical:
This is a stack of 8 x 6 minute exposures with the Askar APO120 refractor at f/7 and the Canon Ra at ISO 800. Taken from the Quailway Cottage in southeast Arizona in October 2024.
