Description

In the constellation of Ophiuchus there are two of the most prominent Globular Clusters of the sky: M10 and M12. They are close enough to fit in the field of a small refractor. The field rotator helped me to improve the picture composition, placing them symmetrically on the picture. This is a 2 panes mosaic.
