NGC 6229 is a globular cluster located in the constellation Hercules. It is designated as GC(v)B in the galaxy morphological classification scheme and was discovered by the British astronomer William Herschel on 12 May 1787. NGC 6229 is located at about 100,000 light years away from earth and is a seldom visited globular in Hercules. Last night was a windy night and some stars are moved, sorry. NGC 6229 / GC/ HERCULES/ EXPO= 15X6"/ FWHM=3,7/ ALT= 23ยบ/ MOON=0 / WIND-VIENTO
Reflector 4f + Infinity

Yes, you are correct. It is a seldom visited globular. Same as most small Globs.
I rarely bother looking at them with my Video gear, but when I am doing Visual with another club member these are the sorts of things he likes to seek out and observe. And we find lots of them.
Well done Elpajare.

Thanks Ken. Its a difficult object to photography because has a low bright and the center is almost imposible to resolve.
If I use low expositions the object results too faint and if I increase it, nucleus burns.
Only Hubble can do it.....or maybe some people knows the secret.
