Globular clusters are colorful fossils of the ancient cosmos, but their inner stars and colors are washed out by their extremely bright cores that contrast heavily with their dark surroundings. But they can be revealed, from faintest color to blinding core, with good imaging and development technique.
Explaining globular clusters and why their nature makes them challenging to image: 00:00 - 07:19
Imaging methodology for globular clusters: 07:20
Development methodology for globular clusters: 11:11
Addressing the extremely high dynamic range challenge: 16:08
Leveling brightness to reveal all stars: 26:57
Final Notes: 38:09
