I am new to astronomy. It is my new hobby [for 2 months now, though I've been interested in it for quite a while, now I'd like to go a little more further].

I have a binocular [8x30 baigish] and a telescope [celestron 70 travel scope], which I have purchased 2 weeks ago and love very much using it along with my binocular.

I have been observing the Moon and the Saturn with my telescope daily, I enjoy it very much.

Yesterday evening I tried to look at M13 but could not locate or see. Sky was clear but it was full moon and was very bright; perhaps my telescope was not strong enough to see.. or am I too noob to spot!? [looked over 1 hour for it but could not find so I gave up in the end]

Hi Ian, some of the fainter dso's are really tricky especially in not so dark summer skies or bright moon. What eye piece were you using? Make sure you start off with a nice wide field of view. Some 10x50 bins are useful to help locate them too
