M13 EQ5 Pro and 130PDS

[eyepod]

I'm very pleased with this after battling with the full moon and strange reflections (which i think came from a spider vane), this is my first go at M13 with my new gear.This is 15 x 60 secs @ iso 400 and 10 darks stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop CS5, taken with Nikon D5300. Looking forward to having another go with the moon out of the way : )

thanks for looking, any advice/comments welcome.

Great result Jason considering the full Moon conditions, I like the image scale and good resolution too.

For your next attempt I would really advise taking flats too ...these really make the world of difference in a cleaner end result.

Thanks everyone, taking some flats is next on the plan, then maybe auto guiding and eqmod. So much to learn but I'm enjoying the journey.

if you take shorter exposures you will retain the colour in the stars say 10 seconds then 20 seconds all at the same iso as your first captures.
