This is one of those quick shots while waiting for my main target to rise.
It took me much longer to process it than to gather the data.
M 92 is one of the oldest known globulars, over 12 billion years old.
A large image and details may be found here:

but basically it's:
an ST2000 on a 5" refractor, RGB: 10-10-10 minutes
Enjoy,

Man, Dan, guys like you and Tyler seem to get more out of these globs in your "down time" than I can achieve all night long! Wonderfully crisp resolution. How long were your subs?
Thanks for sharing,
Larry
