This is opening of the Milky Way season. The location is called Judah's Thumb, near the city of Judah in Saudi Arabia. This is a composition image. Milky Way was rising in the east and there was significant light domes from the city.

This is M92, Globular Star Cluster in the constellation Hercules. This is my reprocessing trying to bring out details in the center of the cluster. I intentionally retained this frame to show nice small galaxies that got into the frame. This object is located in about 27 thousand light years away, and is 108 light years in diameter, with 330,000 sum masses.
