Hi everyone

Stumbled upon this in kstars looking for something interesting whilst waiting for the mw to swing around. Lots of fifty threes. A proper globular cluster and a budget globular cluster.

Despite the overwhelming distractions to the south in Scorpio and Sagittarius, I persevered until I just couldn't resist this new moon's challenge: m7. Alas, by then, it was getting light. I may just sit it out tonight on the southern horizon hoping for some decent seeing or -far more likely- set it going and throw away the rubbish tomorrow morning.

Thanks for looking and stay safe.

Lovely shot. Nicely balanced star colours.
