M13- Great Cluster in Hercules

[Zakalwe]

22 x 200s subs

10 x 200s darks

25 x flats

Unmodified Canon 50D on Equinox Pro 80, with SW field-flattener. Guided by PHD/QHY5/ED-80

Stacked in DSS. A very quick process in CS5. I will have another go at processing tomorrow.

A bit of tweaking of Curves. Neat Image to reduce noise. Star colour enhanced with Noel's tools.

I kept the crop fairly wide as I have captured a little bit of a faint fuzzy (NGC 6207?)

All comments/thoughts/criticisms/critiques welcome.

Another version, with a slightly different processing to enhance the star colours, and a tighter crop.

Very nice. Can't wait to image some DSO's

Thanks Ed, much appreciated.

It's a loooong (and expensive) road, this imaging lark!
