Description:
M92 is a target of interest for me, being one of the oldest globular clusters and full of metal-poor stars. Its age is estimated at 13.8 billion years making it roughly as old as the universe itself which is a real head-scratcher! Jim Misti acquired the data for this target in May of 2005, which I processed 20 years later using modern astrophotography software. I am very grateful to Jim Misti for making this data freely available to the public!
