M13

My first image with the Esprit 150 on my new mount (10micron GM1000HPS).  Since the core of M13 is quite bright, to better reveal core details I decided to create two LRGB processed images:  one with the Luminescence image stars DDP stretched such that the 8 bit PS values where less than 200 (to allow them to be easily coloured) and one where the stars exceeded the 200 value (which makes them quite bright). I then blended the two images via PS using the less stretched image for the core.  The image represents about 4 hours integration.
