[Comm2011] hercules pr image

[Jeffrey Bout]

Hi all,

I have made a pr image of the hercules cluster. There are four files:

www.astro.rug.nl/~bout/hercules/hercules.jpg
The complete 1 sq degree on full resolution (470MB)

www.astro.rug.nl/~bout/hercules/hercules-6000.jpg
The complete 1 sq degree on 6000x6000 pix (32MB)

www.astro.rug.nl/~bout/hercules/hercules-center.jpg
The central part on full resolution (54MB)

www.astro.rug.nl/~bout/hercules/hercules-center-2000.jpg
The central part on 2000x2000 pix (3.6MB)

It is slightly sharper than any picture I could find on the Hercules cluster.

However, the really faint stuff is better visible in this picture:

Probably many many many hours of integrating...
