About this image

Using data gathered remotely with a Takahashi 106 FSQ situated in the dark skies of New Mexico, USA, the resulting image shows this spectacular object in all its glory. Apart from the marvellous star details within the cropped version of M3 (see top of the page), there’s also much to see and enjoy in the original widefield image (see above), that is bountiful of colourful stars as well as several galaxies.
