Bullet Globular Cluster M3

Globular Clusters

M3 Globular Cluster
Image
2002-04-16  21:22 to 21:35h hUT
Central portion of Mosaic CCD Image, 30 sec exposure
 Portion area 12.2 x 9.4 arc min  (#21020-36)
(Contrast set in order to show full extent of the cluster, 
but in the process the centre of the cluster is 'washed out')
  
M3 mosaic

2002-04-16  21:22 to 21:35h hUT
Mosaic CCD Image, 30 sec exposure  (4 x 4)
 36.2 x 20.0 arc min  (#21020-36)
(Mosaic construction method)
 
M3 composite
Image
2002-04-16  21:19h hUT
CCD Image, 30 sec exposure  
9.1 x 7.6 arc min  (#21016)
Composite image showing view with two different contrast settings
(Left hand contrast setting shows full extent of the cluster, 
but at the expense of loosing detail in the centre which is 'washed out')
M3
Image
2002-04-16  21:19hUT
CCD Image, 30 sec exposure 
 11.4 x 7.6 arc min  (#21016)
M3 detail (square root brightness scaling)
Image
2002-04-16  21:52h hUT
CCD Image, 60 sec exposure  
5.1 x 3.4 arc min  (#21041)
Taken with Barlow and using square root brightness scaling to show maximum detail
M3 (linear brightness scaling)
Image
2002-04-16  21:52h hUT
CCD Image, 60 sec exposure  
5.1 x 3.4 arc min  (#21041)
As above image but with linear brightness scaling
