    Astronomy Adventure - Messier 28

    Messier 28 is another nice globular cluster located in the constellation Sagittarius. It was actually "discovered" by Messier in 1764 and, although probably just beyond a naked eye object, it is easily seen as a fuzz patch with binoculars. The current claim to fame of this cluster is that it contains the third largest collection of pulsars in a cluster.


    Here are the technical details:
    Scope: Starblast 4.5; tracking on
    Magnification: ~30x
    Camera: iPhone6 using NightCapPro app; ISO 8000
    Processing: 1x15 sec.; adjusted using curves in GIMP;
