47 Tucanae (NGC104) LRGB CHI-1
I trashed my first version of this and did a complete redo to try to get better star colors and definition.
Located in the constellation Tucana lies the 2nd brightest globular cluster in the sky (after Omega Centauri). 47 Tucanae (NGC 104) lies 15,000 light-years from Earth, 120 light-years in diameter, and contains millions of stars. It contains hundreds of X-ray sources and it also has the 2nd largest amount of pulsars of any other globular cluster.
Hope ya like it!
