About this image

Another image of M3. Taken this time through a 200mm RC using a modified DSLR. (IR filter removed).

Cropped from a wider image.

Far better resolution than with the earlier image with the 102APO. But does illustrate increased noise seen with uncooled camera.

What a great cluster to study
