Description

My first globular cluster target, taken from my bortle 9 rooftop in Central London.

All frames were captured in one night, with a nearly full moon and without ever entering into full astro-darkness.

Very pleased with the outcome given the relatively short integration and the fact that this is my first attempt at a globular cluster.

The new astronomic L and B filter to help cut the star bloating and CA really worked wonders, and as a result this was much easier to process than my other RGB images taken with this scope.
