Amateur astronomer captures 47 Tucanae from light-polluted Melbourne

Original: And one more for good measure. 47 Tucanae again, but from light polluted Melbourne. Oh and the Rosette, because why not,

An astrophotographer in Melbourne has shared new images of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, photographed despite the city's heavy light pollution, alongside pictures of the Rosette Nebula and a rose from their garden. The images are drawing attention from fellow astronomy enthusiasts impressed that such targets can be captured from an urban sky.

Why now: Astrophotography communities are reacting to impressive deep-sky images taken from a light-polluted city.
