Messier 14 - Globular Cluster in Ophiuchus

[bernhardhubl]

Hello,

Since ultra-deep imaging is not possible during the short summer nights, I chose a globular cluster as target.
Messier 14 is interesting, because it is strongly reddened by the dust of the milky way: E(B-V)=0.6mag.

Great shot Bernhard!
Thanks for the explanation as to why it's so red. Otherwise, I might have thought your colors were a bit off for a globular cluster.

Beautiful image Bernhard!

As others have said, thanks for the explanation of the coloration due to dust.

One of the finest images of a glob that I’ve ever seen that was not imaged using remote equipment.

Outstanding work sir!

Hi Bernhard. A dazzling M14 globular cluster image, especially on the astrophoton site. A beautiful star field in your capture and I appreciate your explanation of the Milky Way dust causing the reddish color. Thanks for sharing this excellent work with us on here Bernhard and congratulations on receiving the TSS APOD Award today.
