About this celestial object

NGC 5466 appears as a loose globular cluster, a delicate spring target.

This globular cluster is unusually loose and of low surface brightness, making it demanding both visually and photographically.

So low over the horizon, outer stars are lost in haze; the stack still supports the faint granulation.

Captured at 250 mm, f/5.
