Description

I love shooting globs. Everything about them fascinates me.  That said, I really struggled with processing the core on this one...but once I used Starxterminator (not something I anticipated doing for a globular shot) I was able to reduce the star halos on the brighter stars it came together suitable to my eye.  A series of masks and ever increasingly strong downward stretches on brightness (until I was literally using a pin sized mask on the core) and HDRMT in Pixinsight got it almost the way there.  

I'm going to keep learning/processing and upping my globular processing game...but calling this one done for now.
