M22

Nov 2. Captured this image of M22 globular cluster in Sagittarius last night.
Single exposure of 30 sec thru a LX600 scope (alt az mounted) using a Canon 550d camera.
M22 has a number of fascinating features: six planet-sized objects that are not orbiting a star have been detected in the cluster, it seems to host two black holes, and the cluster is one of only three ever found to host a planetary nebula — a short-lived gaseous shells ejected by massive stars at the ends of their lives. Thanks for viewing.

HI John
I think you image is out out of focus or polar alignment issues the stars look
bit large it could be some flexure as well the colour looks good in the image.
