Photo description / processing

Globular cluster M12 in the constellation Ophiuchus. Another "victim" from my Messier micro-marathon. Since it's close to M10, I decided to give them such a "poetic nickname." The shooting conditions were even worse because the globular cluster was sinking into the trees. Haze, the approaching Moon. Interestingly, the number of frames for M10 and M12 turned out to be the same by chance, but a funny coincidence) Posted for the record.
