Description

This is a widefield image which I cropped from a even wider field taken with the QHY600M camera and FSQ106.  I felt that M7 was washed out in the wider field. Perhaps I could of cropped in further?  Image taken over 3 nights after the moon set as the target came up the eastern sky.
Very little nebula here, mainly just stars. Lots and lots of stars......
