M3 - NGC5272 - LRGB - Globular Cluster under non-ideal conditions

Had an average seeing night with below average transparency and a full moon to work with - challenge accepted. Used the time to further tune my new FLT132 guiding and exposure tolerances. M3 was on my bucket list for sake of doing and a fine target for a mediocre seeing night. It is also in season. Figured out my minimum SNR auto star select levels were way too low in PHD2. Adjusted that and a couple other PHD2 settings that were more optimal for this rig. Still not comfortable leaving this scope to go all night on it's own. New 2 inch risers will be added soon to make meridian flips less of a tripod collision prospect. The EFW were rotated 90 degrees, so no issues this time.
