Description

After seeing an image of M22 on CloudyNights website I wanted to give it a shot. The rich starfield surrounding it looked wonderful! Then I looked it up in Stellarium and saw that it crossed the meridian at less than 25 degrees from my location...
Just for fun I did it anyway. This is 120 minutes of RGB, starting at 20 degrees, That's a lot of atmosphere to shoot through.

For some reason the color in the stars isn't showing well until I view the full resolution. Not sure why, maybe just my monitor?
