Hi,

This is an image of 47 Tucanae. It is a globular cluster about 13,000 light years away in the constellation Tucana. It is about 120 light years in diameter and is the second brightest globular cluster next to Omega Centauri, and has a bright dense core. I had to blend in 30 second exposures to get the core to resolve.

Comments and suggestions welcomed.
