Image Details:

I had been reading about these large cluster in Hercules and decided to give them a shot. They are not as "exciting" as nebula and larger galaxies and they are nevertheless interesting. There are so many stars in each cluster. I included the enlarged version as well to help show that. These are still fairly small objects for my standard camera equipment and I was happy to get these photos. a 1200 to 2000mm telescope would sure be fun to have, but then I would need a lot more expensive equipment.
