Description

As so often happens, I get clear nights when there is a 'fullish' or full moon! Needless to say, here is the great globular we all know so well, and I hoped that I might be able to capture it, in spite of the sky being so full of light. I took 295 subs at 1 minute long each. I am pleased with the result, having brought out the internal structure in the core and also because I have got some colour for the stars in the core, which normally come out as more of a white for me. This equates to 4 hours and 55 minutes imaging time. Have a good night everyone. Simon
