About this image

Globular cluster Messier 3 in Canes Venatici from 26 April. It is well placed at this time of year so I thought I'd get a capture before the Moon came up. I had clear but slightly hazy sky but it turned out well I think. It compares well to M13, that I captured a few days before this.
