Description

A bunch of some 300.000 stars in the Hercules constellation 25.000 light years away. This is my first real attempt to image these deep sky peculiar phenomenons .

Globular clusters do not require the same amount of exposure as galaxies or nebulas. Even so, they are difficult to image well, and still keep the contrast of the central stars.
