Description

Given that it's both fainter and smaller than several of the other globular clusters inhabiting Ophiuchus, images of M107 are few and far between. Nevertheless with a little patience it can be well resolved in backyard scopes revealing numerous red giants and blue stragglers lying in it's core. However you'll need to take a little care when processing to compensate for the atmospheric extinction that especially affects the blue channel if you're imaging from northern latitudes like me.
