Description

I haven't shot a globular cluster since the first full moon of the first month I started this hobby. The clouds were good so why not shoot M3 now? This ended up also being the first time I have used flat frames. I tried T-shirt flats in the early DSLR days but it seemed at the time, just easier to clean the glass. Guiding was terrible and I will probably start a revision right away because this image has too many bad stars.

Revised- 180 @ 60 seconds= 3.0 hours
