Description:
After more than 4 years of patience, I managed to photograph all the globular clusters observed by Messier in the 18th century. My first Messier object, which I photographed in June 2021 with my first cooled astronomical camera Qhy8l, was indeed a globular cluster (M5), and from then on I began "collecting" them all, using what I could from home. At a certain point, I found myself blocked because many objects were not visibe from my homa due to buildings and trees, including the many summer globular clusters, which are very low above the horizon. In this case, remote astrophotography, which many oppose but which I find equally stimulating just like when I use my own telescope, was very helpful. And so, with the photo of M70 shooted on the last summer, I've completed the circle.
