This is Messier 12. It is a globular star cluster in the constellation of Ophiuchus. It is about 16,400 light-years away. #astrophotography

M12 in Ophiuchus is one of those quieter globulars that rewards a long look. Sixteen thousand light years and you pulled it in beautifully.

Far away, yet close to wonder, Messier 12 is. In the dark, patient stars gather, and small our troubles become. Beautiful capture, this is.
