CCD Project - Images of open and globular clusters

Set your monitor to more than 256 colors if possible.

	M13, the great globular cluster in Hercules. 30 second exposure taken 2000 September 30 at the NOVA Star Party.
	M10, globular cluster in Ophiuchus. 30 second exposure taken 2000 May 31 from my driveway.
	M12, globular cluster in Ophiuchus. 60 second exposure taken 2000 May 31 from my driveway.
	M22, globular cluster in Sagittarius. 60 second exposure taken 2000 June 23 from Savage and processed by Peter Gruber.
	M28, globular cluster in Sagittarius. 60 second exposure taken 2000 June 23 from Savage.
	M4, globular cluster in Scorpius. 10 second exposure taken 2000 June 23 from Savage.
	M80, globular cluster in Scorpius. 60 second exposure taken 2000 June 23 from Savage.
	M3, globular cluster. 15 second exposure taken 2000 May 31 from my driveway.
	M92, globular cluster in Hercules. 60 second exposure taken 2000 March 31 from my driveway.

	M11, the Wild Duck Cluster in Scutum, by Alex Lim.
	M15, globular cluster in Pegasus, by Alex Lim.
	M71, globular cluster in Pegasus.
	Here's NGC 6910, an open cluster in Cygnus that is useful as a check of limiting visual magnitude when looking through a telescope. This 5 second exposure catches stars down to about mag 17, through the D.C. light pollution.
