Description

47 Tucanae is a globular cluster in the Tucana constellation, around 1100 light years from earth.

As is common for globular clusters, this one is much brighter in its core compared to the rest of it; so I had to use various exposure lengths to keep a bit of detail in every part of the frame. I like the core to be brighter than the rest of the cluster, while still showing some detail.
