NGC 4590 or M68 Globular Cluster

Imaged M68 last night through all the moon glow
It’s a dim cluster at magnitude 9.7 and lies in the constellation of Hydra
50 x 2 minute dithered guided subs
15 x darks
ISO 800
Canon 600D
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools
My new mount had a glitch halfway through the session when I was inside having a coffee and I lost 4 subs ( possible slippage ??? Don’t know ) Restarted from home position , locked on to target and finished the capture ok
Posted original and cropped versions
It’s a nice little cluster with a sparse star field
