Description

M3 this time, with better focus and slightly better guiding. An 11 billion year old globular cluster, 34 kLY away from us. Calibrated in Nebulosity 4 and processed in Siril with background extraction, photometric colour, a little deconvolution and saturation to show off these lovely star colours. Like M13 it is accompanied by a nice edge on galaxy NGC 5263 which I think makes a nice framing. A little saturated in the core, 120s or even 60s exposures would have sufficed. As ever, comments welcome.
