Ok, So here is another globular cluster I did (the last posted was M68). Here, M62 is in a richer star field since the Milky Way is in the background. I have attached a mid sized image, but a full size image and processing details are at:

Jim,

Thanks for posting. Your globulars always come out looking very good. I like the rich star field.

Well done!

Jim,
You top yourself with each glob. That's really spectacular right to the core.

Ah, nice globular! I also like that yuo left some star field around it. I like both 'portrait' shots of astro items, and 'landscape' shots showing some surrounding sky. (Then there are 'action' shots, limited to comets hitting Jupiter or being broken up and they pass the sun, or space probes smashing into them.. or, this getting silly, sorry).

Anyway, there tends to be more closeup shots in our field; I like both styles.

Nice resolution of the stars in the core.
