That's a great image of M13, really gives you a sense of how many stars are packed into that cluster. Very nice indeed!

What a great M13, Mike, in all that bad weather too!

Excellent

Thanks for kind feedback folks ....appreciated!

Prefer imaging ....afraid a bit lazy at getting down to processing only a year behind with a backlog still to do......not bad for me!

Obviously this image needs more exposure data for smoother result....... one to return to I think.

[Gina]

I would have thought you'd be well up to date with processing with all this dreadful weather and very little image capturing lately Anyway, now you've made a start at the processing I'll expect to see many more great images from you

No excuse Gina ...except to say procrastination is a terrible thing!

Thanks again ...I will try ....maybe start tomorrow
