Globular cluster M92
Globular clusters are mysterious objects – they are dense clusters of stars, some containing hundreds of thousands of them.

The “Fish-Head Nebula”
It’s really just a small portion of the Heart Nebula… that kinda looks like a fish. Maybe not the prettiest object in the cosmos, but it reflects a few technical accomplishments for me.
