M68 Globular Cluster

Here is an M68... I am suprised at the blue color (of course, I could have made a mistake in my data or processing). Other images I have seen seem to show it blue as well though.

Full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Earlier version with my trusty old ToUcam is here:

Beautiful shot Jim! 8)
You are the only one I know that used the Artemis Camera... I wonder WHY it is not that popular here, as it seems to be quite good... 8)

Jim,
Nice shot! Your processing seems dead-on, particularly how you've managed to resolve individual stars right into the core. Also fun to see someone's images of the same subject over time.
Really nice work,
Larry

Ivan, Larry,

Thanks for the comments...

Ivan, I like my Artemis a lot - it is pretty much a "no frills" camera. I almost always need to travel to dark sites, so I tend to favor the simple and rugged. In the case of the Artemis, noise and quality are quite good as well. I guess the Artemis is now only available from ATIK as a completed camera - No more Artemis "Kits".
