Description

M55 is a globular cluster in the eastern part of Sagittarius that is far enough south (-31 degrees declination) that most northern observers don't attempt imaging it. This image is the best I could do in one evening from Texas, with limited integration time due to the low elevation.

In the revision, I cleaned up some of the background noise in Fitswork using the variable background flatten filter.
