Messier 5 - Vixen VC200L | Canon EOS R(a) '25

One of the oldest globular clusters in the Milky Way, ~25,000 ly away in Serpens. A true cosmic fossil!

Messier 71 - Vixen VC200L | Canon EOS R(a) '25

Captured M71 in Sagitta—about 13,000 ly away—a loose, orange‑rich globular cluster that truly pops in color during our 2–4 AM session!

34,000 light-years away in Canes Venatici.
Captured this globular cluster after midnight on May 16, 2025, during my May Messier tour.
