Just captured M13, the Hercules Globular Cluster – 25,000 light-years away in Hercules. A dense ball of 300,000+ stars!
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!
Captured M53 in Coma Berenices—58,000 light-years away. A dense globular cluster, imaged from home.
Check out my latest image of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), captured from home under a beautifully clear sky.
