Hello

Thank you very much for the posts.

I have adjusted the luminance of the globular to make it 'less flat', so hopefully that's an improvement.

Greg - not sure what you mean by 'unusual presentation' - the globular is right on axis! I know what you mean, I could have cropped it right down to frame just the globular, but I did want to show the dust and distant galaxies.

Alpal - not sure what you mean by 'how did I take this photo'
The observatory at Yass is pretty dark, although I am light polluted slightly from the west. The individual exposures were only 5minutes.

If you are interested, my 'night sky' is uploaded to my website at 10minute intervals during hours of darkness.
