I like clusters (open or globular) with a Milky Way background – and here’s one in the constellation Lyra – Messier 56. O.K. so it’s not much of a globular to look at, but the Milky Way background certainly brightens things up. What’s also interesting is that there are a couple of background galaxies too! Don’t expect to see galaxies through the Milky Way – but they are there. Hyperstar III image from 3rd July 2010, 23 subs at 200 seconds per sub.
