Globular Star Cluster In Vela (NGC3201,C79)

A globular cluster in the constellation Vela

A globular cluster straddling the characteristic blue and red interstellar cloud of Vela, east of the Pencil Nebula.
I also tried blending in Ha to bring out the red interstellar cloud in the background. The blue interstellar cloud was too faint to be effective, so I used LHaRGB for the background this time.
This cluster has a fairly low density in its center, but because it's located in the southern spring Milky Way, the surrounding stars are vibrant and beautiful.
Overall, there are many yellow and red stars, but I increased the saturation of the blues to balance it with the red background.

I've finally managed to get the mount's CrazyTracking almost settled, allowing me to shoot more calmly.

ほ座にある球状星団

Pencil星雲の東にあるほ座らしい青と赤の星間雲に跨ってある球状星団。

背景の赤い星間雲も出したくてHaもブレンドしたみた。青い星間雲は薄すぎて厳しかったので今回はLHaRGBの背景にまとめた。

この星団は中心部の密度がかなり低いが、南天の春の天の川の中にあるので周辺の星たちが賑やかで美しいと思う。

全体的に黄色と赤の星が多いのだが、背景の赤とのバランスを青の彩度を持ち上げへてある。

やっとマウントのCrazyTrackingもほぼ収まり落ち着いて撮影できるようになった。
