| Description |
One of the oldest star groupings in the
Milky Way, M5 is a globular cluster in the constellation
of Serpens. I've been shooting mainly nebulas but now
that I have a good mount I wanted to try some clusters
and get practice focusing. M5 is relatively low in our
southern skies so the stars aren't as sharp as I would
like because of atmospheric turbulence. |
