Description

The globular cluster Messier 53 is located in Coma Berenices, at a distance of around 60,000 light-years away.

This was the first image capture of the evening but not the main attraction, and while waiting for several other targets to rise, I thought to catch a few sub-frames of Messier 53. 

It would have been nice to add in the full range of LRGB and more integration time. The skies are cloudy tonight, so maybe next time when there are clear skies!
