Celestron SCT 8", EQ6R-Pro, ZWOASI2600MM, RGB.
This target is known as M3, as well as NGC5272. It's a globular cluster. Approx 33,000 light years from earth. 33,000 years! Makes ya wonder doesn't it! When I process these images I often wonder what was happening on earth when those photons left that planet before they arrived on the cameras sensor. Answers on a postcard.
