Description

I almost decided not to post this one, but what the heck, it is what it is.  With the lousy weather I went for whatever I could capture when the skies cleared a bit, and with the humidity and LP a problem these globulars usually shine through. I would hesitate to zoom in on this as BXT produced some artifacts where it bridged some of the stars into elongated traces. I toned down the effect by specifying a PSF value, but I didn't have the time to really get it right. Not nearly as good as my M13 and M3, but this is a smaller globular, almost 4 magnitudes dimmer than M13 and M3.
