A reprocess of the M5 data using drizzle, still unsure if I am happy with the difference.
Discovered in 1702, M5 by German astronomer Gottfried Kirch whilst observing a comet, M5 is very nearly a naked eye object, I cannot confess to observing it naked eye myself but visually through a telescope a stunning object. Though the camera even more spectacular resolving stars all the way to the core. Combined as a RGB image displays a wealth bright colourful stars. M5 contains a large number of Cepheid variable stars that have allowed astronomers to accurately to 24,500 light years.
