Description

This may not be an impressive object, but it is one that is rarely photographed and that is located in a very, very busy area of the sky! Look at all these stars!! 🤯

This is Messier 26, in the constellation Scutum. One hour total (all details can be found here: https://www.galactic-hunter.com/post/__m26 ).

It was pretty tricky to process mostly due to the low total exposure time, the number of stars and those dark interstellar dust lanes here and there.
