The fourth globular cluster on my photographic journey through the world of the spherical companions of the Milky Way, which seem like their own isolated worlds apart from ours.
I was particularly excited about Messier 71, not least because of the many orange stars. In terms of color, M71 truly stands out.
The images were taken at night between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m.
