Messier 5 - Globular in Serpens

This was the last object I shot during a Messier imaging session a couple of weeks ago, when we finally had a decent Sat night. M5 turned out to be one of those pleasant surprises during a viewing/imaging run - unexpectedly bright with a nice field surrounding. Motivated me to shoot a couple more frames even though it was late. Hardly a marathon effort mind you with 15mins of data....

5 x 3 mins ISO 800, 450D + MPCC/LPS on 8", flats/darks

Definitely worth a look if you're cruising though this part of the sky.
