Messier 5, located in constellation Serpens, often does not get the attention of its more popular #GlobularCluster siblings such as M13. However it is a fine example (>100,000 stars! 🤩).
6" refractor w/mono CMOS camera. About ~70min each in R, G & B. Captured over 4 nights in late March and early April (as weather and equipment permitted).

It might not have won my #GoldStar for our #constellation Sagitta (listen here for more https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/sagitta-cosmic-background/), but I'm always gonna celebrate a globular cluster!!!
This is Messier 71, it's located 13,000 LY from Earth & 27 LY across.

Continuing my journey to process images from data captured a year ago. This data captured late 2024 and January 2025.
In the upper right corner of the widefield view is #GlobularCluster NGC2419 (#Caldwell 25) - the "Intergalactic Wanderer". So called because it is well outside the Milky Way - it was perhaps yeeted out!
In the lower left corner is a small galaxy PGC21517. Surprised it does not have an NGC/IC designation (that I can find).
Did someone say -- MORE GLOBULAR CLUSTERS???
Well -- #Hubble heard you!
Here we have M70 (in the constellation Sagittarius) and NGC 3201 (in the constellation Vela)
