M4 - Global Cluster in Scorpius

This is one of our favourite clusters unusual because of the very few blue stars within the cluster. Explanation " M4 may well be the nearest globular cluster to the sun. Interstellar absorption in this direction is estimated at 1.4 magnitudes and accounts for the yellow-orange colour " ( Daniel Verschatse )
