The Hercules Globular Cluster - M92
Orion 8" f/4 Astrograph

 
 Overshadowed
            by its great M13 neighbor, this brilliant globular is smaller
            yet still highly concentrated in the center and shows a stunning
            collection of orange super giants over the blue cluster dominant
            members.
