Description

M107 is one of three low, southerly Messier globular clusters that I captured on 15 May 2020, this transiting at some 24 deg altitude was by far the highest and turned out by far the best of the three. It is sometimes called The Crucifix Cluster, so I have displayed the image in portrait orientation to best show the crucifix asterism.
