Nope, THIS is my best M13 so far...

I added a sub, toyed with the luminance a bit and generated this:

You can see more stars near the core, a more present image overall. I'm stoked 

Clear skies,

Hey, it's getting much better. Keep going!

[laudropb]

Definitely an improvement.

Thanks for the support, guys. I'm getting better at this. Trying not to get into the expensive gear, haha. For me, observing is still paramount to imaging, but being able to capture some celestial objects can be fun!

Great shot Reggie, however, its hard to resist buying more gear

You're on such a slippery slope now

I started trying to image M13 with my 127 Mak on an EQ3-2 a few years back.  I wasn't happy about the number of lost subs, so I ended up getting the HEQ5 Pro.  But I still had quite a few subs with trailing.  So I added a guide cam and guide scope.

Then all of a sudden, without really realising it, you're hooked on the hard stuff like planetary nebulae.

Take it from someone who knows

Ohhh! This imaging stuff is like an addiction!

I'm trying to avoid buying a dual axis drive for my Skyview Pro 180 and a MALLINCAM. Oh, no, the thought has already crossed my mind. I'm doomed...
