Description

I was only able to get 12 images at 180 secs, between clouds, of this very cool target.  I find globular clusters to be fascinating targets, and sometimes wonder why there are not larger versions of this same thing out there.  I guess you could say an elliptical galaxy is similar, but they were formed by collisions of galaxies, where clusters were formed from a large cloud of gas.  M13 image is hopefully coming soon!  Clear Skies!
