Globular clusters not only exist in galaxy’s halos. M71 is practically embedded in Milky Way’s disc, just halfway (apparently) in between Albireo and Altair. This globular cluster has another peculiarity: it is rich in metals which is unusual for an old object like this.
Had the chance to capture this galaxy, M51, from my obsevatory in Mexico City this very week! Zoomed in beforehand to show you the details of this magnificent pair of interacting galaxies.
