About this image

This is one of the targets why I started practicing with the SeeStar S50. I cannot capture these low southerly targets from my home observatory and taking even a modest size rig somewhere suitable is not practical for me. Whilst globular cluster are far from ideal targets for the S50, at least I can tick a few of them off my personal Messier list with this highly portable smart telescope.
