Description

Captured M54, M55, and M75 which represent the last three Messier objects in Sagittarius (that I captured for my catalog).

M75 is at a distance of about 67,500 light years away from Earth and its apparent size on the sky translates to a true radius of some 67 light years. Like M55 it is one of the more densely concentrated globular clusters known.
