In a pathetic attempt to try and keep my hand in with the light evenings - here's 20 subs at 200-seconds per sub on M56 in the Milky Way. Didn't realise you could see galaxies through the Milky Way (there's a couple top-left) there's also a Planetary nebula in there. Ultra quick process with overdone spikes courtesy of yours truly.

Love how the bright stars just seem to stand out so much compared to the dimmer ones. What's that bright red star to the top right of M56?
