Description

I have a very limited amount of time on target for anything in the Southern skies because of the tree cover. However, I thought I'd try my hand at a globular cluster. Yes, there are other clusters I could have chosen like the Great Star Cluster in Hercules; however, since M5 is the Goofi challenge of the month on CN, it seemed an appropriate choice.

So, I setup a looping sequence in NINA to cycle through the R, G and B filters and let it run once M5 finally cleared the trees. I ended up getting a total of 42 minutes integration.
