If you look very carefully, you can see faint light extending toward the upper left and lower right, beyond the main elliptical. The purpose of my 4-meter run is to understand this faint halo stellar light. At that distance, though, the clusters will look like points, and I will have to think of some way to pick them out from ordinary foreground stars. This image is 1.3 x 1.1 deg is size. North is up, and East is to the left.
North is to the right, and East is up.
If I may say so, I think this image is really cool. Hope you enjoyed these pictures.
