M3: This gorgeous globular cluster is located approximately 33,900 ly distant, and contains an estimated 500,000 stars! It is one of many globular clusters that are part of the Milky Way galaxy, but is certainly one of the largest and most spectacular to photograph. (Notice the bright, orange colored Red Giant stars) LRGB image (14-60 sec exposures L; 10-60sec exposures RGB) |
