Description

Also known as NGC 6205, this amazing cluster is comprised of over 100,000 stars.  It is over 22k light years away and is considered one of the jewel's of the night sky.

It can be easily seen in binoculars, even in suburban night skies.

This is my second attempt at capturing and processing this target.
About 150x90 second exposures were captured during the night of 5/18/2023.
