M31 Andromeda core globular clusters map
Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2020 3:06 pm
Okay, this was a little project since I was bored cause clouds, clouds and clouds ... and then some more clouds
I did capture the M31 Andromeda core (see viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3116) and that was fun to do.
But the topic of RonAM and the replies there (see viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3070) sparked my interest: there is a lot more then meets the eye with M31: the globular clusters.
So, looked up several online resources and made my own map (including magnitudes) of the globular clusters of the M31 Andromeda core. And this was really so much fun Kept me busy for several hours during 3 days and it's so worth it and satisfying.
