NGC 104 aka 47 Tucanae
This was processed from a Pro Dataset using only Pixinsight. I didn't realize until I started processing it that it is actually 47 Tucanae that I had processed several years ago from a different set of telescopes with lower quality data. I am always fascinated by how many galaxies typically photo-bomb good images. For instance, in this image, there is a sliver of a galaxy, PGC 1536, just visible to the right of the main cluster.
