About this image

The Moon was up so, after a couple of variable stars, I tried a brightish globular cluster. Have not imaged this in more than 20 years and was surprised how nicely it came out. The cameras have moved on a bit since the late 90s.

A little DDP applied to show the cluster extent more clearly.
