M71 (NGC6838) is a rather open globular cluster at a distance of about 13000 lightyears. The globular is 9-10 billion years old which is considered young for a globular.
Light travel time: ~13000 years. Rather poor weather conditions, drifting clouds, bright sky and seeing was not good.
Processing: CCDSoft, Astroart 5.0.
