Snapped M15-globular in Pegasus, ~33 600 ly out-on a single clear early-summer night with my VC200L & Canon EOS R(a). So worth it!

Perfect detailed planning of the deep-sky object and the framing using Stellarium HiPS full-sky surveys!
Just captured M13, the Hercules Globular Cluster – 25,000 light-years away in Hercules. A dense ball of 300,000+ stars!
Before the current nebula season, I once again improved the optical system of my APO. I could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I had chosen this path from the very beginning.
Snapped the Sun at Aloha Beach, Zeeland, 400mm zoom—our star, 150M km away, shining in Gemini before sunset.
Stunning globular cluster Messier 92 in Hercules (~27 000 ly away), captured with faint background galaxies—June session highlight!
One of the oldest globular clusters in the Milky Way, ~25,000 ly away in Serpens. A true cosmic fossil!
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.
Caught Messier 56 (~33,000 ly away in Lyra) on night 1 of my globular cluster run. Short exposure, decent guiding—solid result!
