Globular Cluster Images from the Lake Murray Observatory

These images are from the Lake Murray Observatory.  Located on Lake Murray in Central South Carolina, the skies are still dark and filled with wonder.  There is a second location in the mountains of SC off Scenic Highway 11 on Fiddler's Cove lake.  This is an extremely dark site bordered on the West by the Appalachian Mountain Chain.
