Afocal M13 attempt

[Blazar]

Hello,

Probably should not post this, as not really that great, but wanted to share an attempt at M13 using Afocal photography. I have been messing around with this and my starting equipment for quite a while, and have had some nice pics of the Moon and Jupiter, yet last night I got a bit wound up with Mars, so thought I would point at M13 and see what happened...

Was not really expecting much to be honest, but was quite surprised. the shot below is a single 2.5 second exposure (ISO1600) using a Sony Cybershot in a Baader digiscoping bracket, through a TAL 25mm Plossl in a TAL 100RS on a TAL GEM EQ (read wooden manual tripod and mount). Now I know it has star trails, but was quite taken with it. I am saving for my planetary imaging rig......but you never know...this DSO stuff is quite interesting...

Thanks for looking anyway.

Good result for Afocal.
