My astrophoto of the rather rarely photographed globular cluster in the constellation Hercules: Messier 92. Now new: with session analysis!

Clearly rounder and less inflated stars. The development of the new material from last summer has paid off.
Messier 3 – One of the bright globular clusters in spring. Here a one-hour-integration with my VISAC astrograph.
