Default M3

hi folks,

in two nights I imaged M3, which is such a beautiful cluster!
tight though and therfor tough to process, it is so cute to see the center split in the TMB scope.

one night granted very nice conditions; the second one, when I did the colors was very windy and seeing was bad.

Since I wanted to have a nice FOV I decided to image with the 5" f/9 TMB SApo, which was a good idea, as seeing was so bad the second night, I could not have guided for 2050mm FL.
I wanted to do the colors in 1x1,...but I should have decided differently...seeing,...exposure time...f/9 is quite s l o w.

please find all data and images on my website:

thanks for taking a look.
your comments are appreciated.

best regards,
Dietmar
