Well, This is somewhat of a plain image. I just thought it was interesting about how red this particular globular is. It is supposed to be abundant in heavier elements and it's light comes throgh some interstellar dust.

Full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

It took a fair amount of exposure for a globular - L:R:G:B - 40:16:16:16 (RGBs binned)
