M3 - Globular Mass in Hounds

The caption of this photo could easily be... Carpe Diem!

Yesterday evening, in fact, taking advantage of a few hours of clear sky that interrupted the grayness of these days, I flew the telescope, pointed out this gorgeous cluster and took short shots, for an hour and a half, without filters, to see what was coming out.

I'd say a little something came out.

Hope you enjoy it!
