Hubble and M7

Hi all,

I captured a bright (mag 0.9) pass of the Hubble Space Telescope near the open cluster M7 in Scorpius this morning, just before the fog rolled in. Stacked 2 sec exposures using my 70-200 f/4L @ f/4, 1600 iso.
I'd hoped to also get M6 in the frame but didn't get out of bed in time to frame it properly...

Hope you like it.

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks Liz! The Moon was quite close to where I was aiming, so I'm a bit surprised that it worked.

Cheers,
Stephen
