Hi Barnie,
Another great shot! It's curious about the near lack of galaxies in your M10
image compared to that of M12 since they are pretty close to each other on our
sky. I agree with Tom that it would be nice to have a side-by-side, same-scale
comparison of your globular cluster images. Keep up the wonderful work.
Clear skies,
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

Hi,
It is globular season so here is one of the several globulars I have been
working on. M10 is a globular cluster in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is
about 14,000 light years away and has a diameter of about 83 light years.
The cluster has a mass of about 225,000 Suns and orbits the Milky Way galaxy
every 140 million years.
