Description

I was looking through some of my old image folders today and found this image of M4. M4 is

my favorite globular cluster to view through an eyepiece. It does not look like most of the

globular clusters. Compared to other globular clusters it has a relatively loose structure.

According to what I've read it is one of the closest globular clusters to Earth. This cluster also

contains white dwarfs that studies conclude are 13 billion years old making them the oldest stars

associated with the Milky Way. I also like M4 because it is not as difficult to image as some

of the other globular clusters that have a more dynamic range. With all of that said I decided to share

an image from an old image folder. Please enjoy.
