NGC 5986 Globular Cluster in Lupus

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

40 x 2 minute dithered guided subs
15 x darks
Canon 600D with Baader coma corrector
ISO 800
8” f5 Bintel newt on an EQ6-R mount
Goto and tracking via EQMOD and Stellarium
Captured via BYEOS
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools

Thanks for looking , comments welcome
