Description

This is my first attempt at a globular cluster and it took a little experimentation to find the right exposure length. Definitely can't expose as long as you would for a fainter target. Guiding was pretty good (for my setup, Alt/Az on a wedge) averaging about 0.9 arcseconds of error. I like the orientation I choose, rotated about 20 degrees, so that I was able to include NGC 6207 in the frame to give it more depth.
