Working with EQMOD long focal length beta version trying to round out the stars on the C9.25

At 25,000 light years distance, this is one of the premier globular clusters. It contains perhaps 1 million stars and has an age of about 14 billion years

Above the cluster and left of center is IC 4617, a small magnitude 15.5 galaxy. This dim galaxy should not be confused with the much better known (and brighter) NGC 6207, not included in this image. This galaxy contained supernova SN2005ab.
