This is a 35 second long image of the globular cluster M3 (NGC 5272) in Canes Venatici that was captured remotely on 2009/7/4 using the Bradford Robotic Telescope's 14" f/11 Celestron C14 SCT and FLI MicroLine camera located on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. A Celestron focal reducer yielding an effective focal length of 1877mm at f/5.3 was employed. North is up and east is to the left in the image.
