Description

Another small Globular Cluster (Size 6.90', Magnitude 8.38) in a wide field. This one is a little more interesting than M56 which I posted a couple of days ago because Barnard 64 can be seen - a dark cloud of dust that's blocking out light from the stars that are presumably behind it.

This is another star rich area of the sky - after deconvolution all the small stars became a light brighter making the star field really stand out. I didn't try too hard to reduce the star field....I hope everyone likes the way it looks
