I wanted to test the C8 on a globular cluster. Conditions weren't the best - the moon was bright and it was really hazy and humid. I was amazed during processing that the colors weren't washed out completely. I think you can just see the planetary nebula Pease 1 (use this finder chart). If you can't find it here is a blowup of where I think it is located.
