Description

I have a limited view from my garden, and at this time the galactic plane is obscured by houses - however I have been able to image targets I had only spent a short time with in previous seasons with an Alt-Az Goto mount.

M 92 has been available to me for several hours a night, and I'm fascinated by globular clusters. They're so beautiful, with the old stars that have been around for billions of years - slow and steady. I try imagine what it would be like living within a globular cluster, although the lack of a variety of star generations can make the emergence of life difficult.
