OK, here is a pretty ho-hum object. Here is M30,a pretty compressed Globular cluster. SEDS says it has undergone core collapse, the core is pretty tight and hard to resolve cleanly.

I have attached a mid size image, but a full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Scope was a C8 at f/8, Camera was an Artemis285
Exposure - L:R:G:B 44:8:8:8.

Maybe Ho-Hum to somebody else, but I sure do love GCs, specially when they are as pretty and well resolved as this one...

Thanks for sharing Jim! 8)

Thanks for the comment Ivan. I do get attracted to the clusters from time to time. I share them hoping I am not boring to many people.
