Brian,
Well you sure picked up
more faint stars than I did... what I was looking for and found in your image
were the large quantity of blue stars... this flies in the face of the theory
that globular clusters are made of mostly old stars... your core is kind of
burned up but in mine you can see blue stars everywhere, and in that mixture
is sprinkled some old yellow-orange stars and here and there a few really red
stars. But far too many young blue stars to buy into the theory that there is
no new star formation going on... this would suggest that globulars are a
dynamic happening, not some remnant from an old process.
If you bring your image
into PS as a 16 bit Tiff file, can't you bring more detail into the core? I
think it would be interesting to see what you've got hiding in
there!
Thank you for telling me about
the image,
Have a good one,
Tony
