Description

At a size of only 19', M55 is a difficult target for my small telescope.

But, with near-prefect conditions last night and M55 almost at zenith, I thought this was the best chance I would ever get

I was very pleased with this image, particularly as I (finally) managed to get a near-perfect Polar Alignment, and excellent tracking.
