Description

M22 is a famous GC in Saggitarius. The diameter is about 32 arcmin which is bigger than M13 in Hercules which spans only 20 arcmin.
With an altitude of -24 deg I do have only a window between a hill and some trees of max 2 hrs. exposure time. With my double setup the lower scope is already very close above the outside wall, even so that a part of the wall can be flipped down to have better horizon look. -25 deg is the lowest possible view for me from home.
Last weekend the weather forecast was mixed. Surprisingly clear sky was out in the evening. I took 2 hrs of exposure, but only 1 was without clouds.
Hope you can still enjoy the picture!
