M13 + Propellor

[Uranium235]

This is part of last nights haul. Had a great session: no moon, perfectly clear and not one sub dropped It's a dose of the same tonight but the guiding has been a little more lumpy this time round. Regardless, it's such a relief to be out under the stars again.

The M13 propellor is something ive seen in other peoples photos, but never my own so this time I thought I should have a proper go at bagging it. Still no colour for this one as ive only just finished grabbing colour for M51 and Ive moved straight onto Sh2-101 (tulip), with the intention of also grabbing the optical companion of the Cygnus X-1 black hole at the same time.

M13: Great cluster in Hercules

Thanks Todd

Hoping for three nights in a row tonight, I only need about half an hour to put some colour into this.

Thats great, have yet to have a go at this with my ed80 at least I think I have not done it yet with my ed80 not sure must be going batty after being stuck indoors for so long.

I think we're all "stir crazy" Now we're panicking to get something captured, well at least I seem to have been. Been "burning the candle both ends" the last 3 days! Need to calm down a bit I think

I think I should have a go at M13 it's brighter than M101 that I seem to be having trouble with. Maybe M101 was a bit ambitious.

Nice detail in the core and good separation of stars. I look forward to seeing a version with a bit colour.

Excellent image, the star separation is really very good indeed. This is just the sort of image I was waiting to see from the SW ED80, shame you have no colour but still its a fab image
