Description

M 3 is one of the other image of a globular cluster from my night of the globs

see more about it here:



Compared to his bigger brother M 13 is one that don't need to hide.

It has a fantastic field full of colourful stars and a nice little galaxy NGC 5263.

What most people don't know is that there are quite a few faint fuzzies visible, too.

Like PGC 93726 (the blue smudged patch west of the brightest star in my image HD 119081) and others more southwest.

But this is not the end. I f you know were to look, you will also find quite a lot of quasars in the field.

Of course I was just able to make the brightest ones visible with my 5" but after all they were around mag 17.

I've highlighted them in revision B.
