M92, globular cluster in Hercules

 

 

Here you can see M92, M13's smaller brother in Hercules.

This was my first try shooting a globular cluster. I've used my LX 200 with

GEG at f/6.3 shooting with Kodak Elitechrome 400 color slide film.

Polar alignement was not perfect, but I guess without a more solid wedge this

shot represents the maximum quality I can get.
