Description

I photographed this just 1year from yesterday and was wanting to get something else then nebula or galaxy. So i went for this beautiful cluster of a roughly half a milion stars.  I realy like this yellow/blue combination of stars, which brings character to the object, as young and old complement each other.  I would photograph clusters more but my focal lenght is just to wide to get some realy nice close up shots where these giants realy shine. M3 is one of largests but still had to crop quite a bit for a bit close up view, eventhoug i was shooting with my unmodified Nikon camera with APSC sensor at that time. A day earlier i shot some not well known Asterism called Christmass Goose and will post today or tommorow.
