M71 Angelfish Cluster - telescope processed image. M71 is an unusually sparse globular cluster in the constellation Sagitta, about 13,000 light-years away. It was once mistaken for an open cluster.

M71 Angelfish Cluster - unprocessed image. Its identity was debated for decades; some astronomers once thought it was a loosely bound open cluster, not a true globular one.

Next on last nights observations is #M71 #AngelfishCluster. This is a 191 image sack put together by the s50. Beautiful Starfield in this image. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
