Decided to image a dim cluster under a full moon to see how it turned out
Chose NGC 5986 a dim magnitude 8 globular cluster in the constellation of Lupus
It’s located about 35,000 light years from earth
Finding ,framing and focusing this object was fairly easy as it has a few brighter stars in the surrounding star field to use as reference points
