A very large globular in the Southern Hemisphere. There is the 2nd largest globular in
the Milky Way. It is quite close to the South Celestial Pole and the Small Magellanic Cloud.

Beautiful, Greg. The core looks a little burnt out though (maybe it's my monitor).

Nice image Greg! The stars look perfect and I don't really mind the bright core. It just gives the impression that the core is very dense and bright.... which it is. I like it very much.

Thanks Tyler.

I think I'll reshoot the luminance and use shorter subs. These were only 5 minutes.

There's over a million stars in there!

Greg.
