M2 Globular Cluster

M2 Globular Cluster in Aquarius

I have processed plenty of globular clusters shot with large telescopes, but this was my first time working with one captured through a 13cm refractor. With less than an hour and a half of exposure, the fine grain of individual stars already shows — though with limited color data, the hues could not be rendered very saturated.

After processing, I cropped away 75% of the surrounding pixels to arrive at a closer-looking view.
