M2 not the one that runs by my old home

[alan potts]

Here is an image of M2, not the one near Chatham, it was taken with the Moon about and me wanting sleep so not as long as I normally like for Globs, which is generally around 90-120mins. This is just 40mins and I guess not too bad. Normal scope, 805mm apo and Canon 40D but iso800 this time. Was rather surprised in this short run I had Biggles fly through frame twice and two satellites pass through which are include in the stack. I have to say it looks a bit lost in the middle, probably with extra data would crop fairly well, must see if I can get some before the 071 new toy arrives, which no doubt is being packed by FLO with cloud, storms and lightning.

Hope you like it.
