Description

I took this picture during the extremely light skies of June, with astronomical darkness a distant preference! I managed 32 subs at 5 minutes each, through my 8" reflector, using the mono Atik 460EX. I am pleased with the result and the size of the cluster from the data. One day I hope to add the colour! I am also pleased that I have managed to bring forth the 'propeller' within the cluster.
