Globular clusters NGC 6522 and 6528 together

Clouds suddenly cleared early last night so into some more imaging. These are 2 globulars in the milky way. As you can see they are surrounded by more than a few stars.

5x10 mins ISO200. uv/ir filter. Baader MPCC coma corrector, 10 inch f5.6 newtonian, Hutech modded 350d.

Bigger version here

Note the smaller globular 6528 is reddened from the interstellar dust of some dark nebulas B-298 and Ldn 41
