One has to be careful not to oversaturate the stars in globular cluster images.  I have seen some where there are strange blue stars that looks unnatural.  I prefer to be quite modest with any colour manipulation.

I am not an imager so I cannot comment on the technical aspect but I think it is a lovely shot. I would put it on my wall !

Beautiful! Every time I'm tempted to get a big Dob I look at some images in this forum to remind myself that great results too can be obtained with modest apertures.

Very nice indeed. Proof that M3 is in no way inferior a subject to M13.

Looking forward to viewing this on a proper screen later
