Here is a globular cluster pretty much in the middle of the Milky Way. Unlike some of the brighter globulars in the galactic plane, this one is a little hard to pick out of the dense star field. A full size image as well as exposure and processing details can be accessed at:

Scope was my C8 at f/6.9, Camera was the Artemis285.
