Description

M5 the second globular I have imaged this year. I did manage to capture some luminance for this image. As for my image of M13 I never got around to it and just decided to move on.

Also, this image was totally captured with Starkeeper Voyager instead of my usual SGP. Although I have had good success with SGP, most nights, I find the focus routine lacking and slow. Once I configured Voyager it was off to the races! The focus routines are robust and blazingly fast! Also, the drag and drop scripting in Voyager is easy to use and such a nice addition to automating an image session. I am sold! Can't wait for Summers nebulas to roll around!
