NGC 1851 Globular Cluster
Globular cluster in Columba.
Followed new TelescopeLive tutorials which was a great learning experience.
In particular, a tutorial by Bernard Miller - POST-PROCESSING GLOBULAR CLUSTERS IN PIXINSIGHT - taught me how to provide better star detail from core to outer-cluster. This made a big difference compared to my earlier attempts.
