M13 - First Time Glob Stack

[Roy Batty]

It seems a good while since I had the scope out let alone got any imaging done , however last night although it was breezy and with the sky not properly dark until after 11 PM I decided to have a crack a globular cluster. Luckily enough M13 skirts above my neighbours roofline to my east so I can pick up this target fairly early on in the evening, relatively speaking.

So I set things up and left the scope and camera happily doing their thing while I went back inside to watch that cheesy sci fi film "Starship Troopers" on BBC1 late last night -is it just me:- Denise Richards....whoaaa scary teeth

Anyway after sifting through the results today I was left with 16 subs out of around 50 that I was happy with, stacked with DSS and processed with PS CS3, sub length was 90 seconds @ ISO800.

cheers

Excellent image Roy, good detail and the core's not washed out. Looks like you've picked out NGC6194 to the upper left of M13 as well.

No fair Roy. You have no right to get a fine image like that while watch junk Sci Fi. :nono:
