Here is M12. Seems to be a bit noiser than my earlier M92. Dan Kowall just posted an M92 and commented - "It took me much longer to process than to gater the data". Man ain't that the truth. Globs can be a challenge to process.

Jim,

Nice shot. You guys always amaze me with your skills on things like globulars.

Hi Jim,

Globulars don't get the photographic attention they deserve. I'm as guilty as most others at this (either shooting them or viewing them). Your series of images (M92 and now this) show that each globular has a distinct and different personality. Good job at showing that off!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Eric, thanks for the encouragement on the globulars. I still have plans to do a few more - well into the Nebula season, so its nice to hear your comment.
