I see you are at it again Dennis This is a fabulous shot of Terzan 9, I really like the colours and overall the image is beautifully processed and very smooth! I think this is your best Terzan so far
It's great to see the reddish colour of the cluster, revealing just how much obscuring dust that lies in front.

I wonder about the size - 12"? When I searched for Terzan 5 I noticed that it too was listed with a miniscule size in Starry Night - I reckon they are all quite a bit larger than that. They are not tiny globulars, but merely obscured by interstellar dust and appear much larger than 12" on images.

Hopefully you can manage to collect them all, that would be quite an achievement. Thanks for sharing!
