Astrophotography Adventure - Two Fall Globular Clusters

Messier 2 is a globular cluster in Aquarius. Under good seeing conditions, it is barely visible with the naked eye.


Messier 30 is a globular cluster in Capricorn. Under dark skies, this is an easy binocular object. This cluster's orbit indicates that it originally formed in a satellite galaxy that was absorbed into our Milky Way.
