M5 after moon rise
The night I shot M97 and M108 the moon rose at 1:00 AM so I selected M5 to finish the evening with.
I tossed the frames with tracking errors and the ones where the sky background was super bright and wound up with this.
I have to admit, I'm not horribly disappointed with this. I've done better but that moon is tough to edit around!
Thanks for looking!

Re: M5 after moon rise
M5 looks good with that foreground star. You have caught some nice star colour there.

Nice yellow nuggets !
Mentored by Keith, Mike, John and Bill. (The old guard) and forever grateful.
