Object data of Palomar10 |
||
| Object type: | Globular star cluster (XII) | |
| Size: | 4' | |
| Magnitude: | 13.2 mag | |
| Constellation: | Sge | |
| Distance: | 20,000 Ly | |
| Notes: |
Palomar 10 (Pal 10) is a globular star cluster located approximately 20,000
light-years away in the constellation Sagitta. This cluster is heavily
obscured by the dust of the Milky Way which leads to be being strongly
reddened:
E(B-V) = 1.66mag To unveil the 'real' star colours of Pal 10 by removing the interstellar reddening, the green and blue colour weight factors have to be significantly increased. In the image, which can be accessed via the link above, the green weight was increased by a factor of 3 and the blue weight was increased by a factor of 7. |
