Description

Before I went outside I decided that I would image M53. I've never imaged this object before.

When I first started imaging I had scattered clouds causing problems but about my 4th image the

clouds went away and no longer bothered me. There was also a Crescent Moon but where

it was located did not affect my imaging. I've viewed this object a lot in an eye piece the last

forty years. However in an eyepiece not many stars can be resolved and it looks like a smudge

of light. However it is a really pretty globular cluster and makes a nice astro photo. With all

of that said please enjoy my first image of M53.

Description: I did not like the way the background looked on Astrobin so I attempted to flatten the background a little.
