Description

NGC 5466 is a small globular cluster in Bootes. I imaged it because the moon was very bright and I thought since it was a globular I could deal with the gradients more easily than with a galaxy or nebula. It was a fun project, had to do some thinking and tinkering and in the end pretty pleased with the result. Around the galaxy are a number of faint 17th to 18th magnitude galaxies.
