Messier 22 A Huge Globular in Sagittarius

Here's a shot I snapped of the Messier 22 Globular Star Cluster last night (June 24, 2015) at Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA. M22 is found in the constellation Sagittarius. Residing at only 10,600 light years distant, M22 is one of the closer globular clusters to Earth. Messier 22 one of the best summer time globular clusters visible in the northern hemisphere.
