Optical image of globular star cluster NGC 4372
Globular cluster NGC 4372. True-colour optical image of the globular star cluster NGC 4372 (lower right) in the constellation Musca. Globular clusters are dense balls of relatively old stars which appear to exist in a halo around our galaxys nucleus. There are over 200 known in our galaxy, and they have been found in other galaxies as well. This cluster lies around 16, 000 light years away. The bright star at upper left is Gamma Muscae. This image was produced by digitally combining photographs taken by the UK Schmidt Telescope in blue and red light

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.
