Description

I observed this object on 5 January 2014 at Havelock North in New Zealand using an Explore Scientific ED80 Refractor. I obtained the calibrated lights frames used to create the final image from Telescope Live. The frames were imaged by the CHI-1-CCD Telescope at the El Sauce Observatory in Chile.

NGC 6752 is faint. The core appeared to be highly concentrated. Rich halo.

NGC 6752 is the 4th brightest GC.
