Messier 13

[Stub Mandrel]

There's going to be a LOT of M13s in this comp!

First the lightly stretched stack to show the amount of light pollution and skyglow I was battling with for this image... made worse by a layer of thin cloud that had put a halo around the moon.

And this is what I was able to pull out of the centre part of the image. 90% of 104 subs, Canon 450D, 800 ISO, 30 seconds, 130P-DS with CC on EQ3 mount, unguided. Stacked in DSS, processed in Photoshop and Astra Image. <edit - looks awful and over saturated when uploaded, revised version substituted>
