Description

M3 an ancient globular cluster in Canes Venatici is a venerable object thought to be ~10 billion years old. You can almost feel the age in these ancient golden suns that make up the core of this cluster, thought to consist of more than 500,000 stars.

I only took 2 min subs, which do not do justice to this cluster, but the wind was picking up and my guider was struggling to keep up with the gusts.
