Description

The Moon was very bright so I tried to pick a target that I felt would be less affected by the Moon light. I've never imaged M22 with my William Optics ZenithStar 61 Refractor and I felt this would be a good opportunity.

Description: I was not really pleased with my original image. I completely reprocessed the image. I attempted to resolve more stars in the cluster. I also attempted to reduce the background star field a little. This part of the sky is in a really saturated star field which makes this object a little difficult to image. Right now I like this image better than my original image.
