      NGC 6752 One-Click Observation

      NGC 6752, also known as The Great Peacock Cluster, is the fourth-brightest globular cluster, after Omega Centauri, 47 Tucanae, and M 22. It's located in the southern constellation Pavo at a distance from Earth of around 13,000 light-years, making it one of the closest globular clusters. It shines at a magnitude of 5.4, which makes it visible to the unaided eye and it covers an area of around 3/4 the size of the full Moon.

      This data was taken at El Sauce Observatory with the 24" CHI-1 scope. It's not as dramatic as Omega Centauri in size and star numbers but it contains a lot of nice colorful stars.

      Anyway, hope ya like it!
