Description

Messier 3 was one of the first deep sky objects i have seen through a telescope. In 2001 i had the opportunity to watch this beautiful cluster through a 40 inch cassegrain reflector in Trebur, Germany. This was an awsome experience and one reason to buy my first telescope.

A good reason to take a picture of this object and i am quite pleased with the result. ;)
