Description

Considered one of the best northern globular clusters, M3 is located in Canes Venatici at approximately 34,000 LY (NASA). The image was captured from Bortle 6/7 skies on April 21, 2024, just two days before a full moon. It's a good target for nights when the moon is too bright for galaxies or nebulae.
