: An often overlooked, but incredibly beautiful cluster in the Milky way core. For this image, I decided to hastily 3D print out a 'spike mask' which is a cross that sits in front of my refracting telescope to emulate the spider that holds up secondary mirrors in a lot of telescopes. This gave (to me) some really beautiful star spikes without needing a different telescope.
