Messier 92 - The Other Globular Cluster in Hercules

Here is a shot I snapped of the Messier 92 globular cluster this past week at Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA. M92 is found in the constellation Hercules and is one of the brighter globular star clusters visible in the Northern Hemisphere making it, at times, just barely naked eye visible. M96 residing at near 26,700 light years distant and has a diameter of 109 light years.
