M2

[prokyon]

Hi folks,

not often captured, the globular cluster M2 in constellation aquarius. I used a moonlit night to do it.

Nice picture, crisp and detailed.. from corner to corner.

BTW, you have a typo near distance din description:
"M 2 is a globular cluster in constellation Aquarius. Distance 36 lys, diameter 150lys"
Should be 36 klys ?
(quote from Wiki : M2 is about 37,500 light-years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-year) away from Earth. At 175 light-years in diameter)
