Description

I managed to obtain 19 subs of this before the object slipped out of view from this location - it is low down for me. I have always liked M22 and I am especially pleased to have brought out some of the inner structure of the globular during processing, and getting the smaller globular cluster on the upper right side within the field of view (NGC 6642). I took 4 minute long exposures at ISO 800, using my 8" reflector and modified DSLR.
