Description

Globular clusters are really amazing targets, and also amazing objects in the Universe.  Older than the galaxies they orbit.  Complex, and beautiful.  There is new evidence that there may be medium sized black holes at the center.  The fun part of imaging these objects is trying to keep the very bright centers, from being overexposed, as there are so many stars there so tightly compacted together.  I am very happy with this image.  Clear Skies
