Description

M3
Captured after the setting of HFG1-Abell 6 over two nights, I gathered 5 hours of 300 second images of M3 for this shot. I considered reducing image time, to bring out all the core stars, But I personally like the bright core of the 300s image. I think it more realistic of the brightness at the center of half a million stars.
