M5
About this celestial object
M5 gathers uncounted ancient stars into a compact, sparkling sphere.
M5 ranks among the conspicuously bright globular clusters; its dense core and far‑reaching halo are visible even in small telescopes.
About 79 minutes of exposure at 58% humidity resolve the swarm into a clean, granular texture.
At 250 mm f/5, the framing retains the surroundings and the extended halo.
