Globular Cluster M80

Low above my southern horizon I could observe the globular Cluster M80. It's  located in the constellation scorpius and about 32000 light years away from Earth.
As the picture was taken low above the horizon and having the impact of city lights the picture is not fantastic. Picture was taken with Nikon D7500 and TAL200K f/8.5. Settings are ISO800 and 30s with a total of 4,5 minutes exposure. The raw format was converted to DNG format and stacking using DeepSkyStakker. Final editing and cropping in CS4.
