Messier 12 - Globular Cluster

Hey Hivers,

It's been ages since my last @actifit post. Unfortunately, I had no time and no desire to do a post in the evening
Anyway, after I took apart my mount for changing the bearings and regreasing, I had the chance yesterday night to take the first picture with the reassembled mount. I still have some small backlash issues, which I should get out of it after another adjustment of the worm gear.
I tried my luck on the Globular Cluster, Messier 12, as even with the lack of resolution of my telescope, I should be able to see the shape of the stars.
