Hi all. The sky cleared last night, grin

so I decided to do a little imaging. I almost froze to death, but it sure was fun! Here is the globular cluster M3.
Cheers,
Tyler

Thanks for the comments everyone. I decided to try reprocessing the image (what else is new) to show more detail. I also reduced the original size less than before. I think it shows the cluster somewhat better.
Cheers,
Tyler
