This won't win any pretty picture awards but is the most difficult object I have imaged. By far the most distant of the Milky Way globular clusters, this 16th magnitude object was only discovered in 1979.
LRGB image 140m L, 20m R, 20m G, 30m B RGB binned 2 X 2.
C11 @ f/10.5, ST-8E/AO-7.

Nice one Steven!
Indeed, this one is a faint one, but you caught it, and with nice detail & contrast!

Congrats!
