Globular cluster NGC 5466, Boötes
As globular clusters go, NGC 5466 is unusually sparse, so not as spectacular as many others (such as M3 nearby). It's the first time I've imaged this object.
32 x 1-minute exposures, ISO 6400, f/4. Modified EOS 600D & Revelation 12" Newtonian f/4 reflector telescope.
