M13 Hercules Cluster

[nucdoc]

One of my favourite clusters, shot over the only 3 hours where we did not have clouds, and before the moon came out.

Any criticism is welcome

nicely done, stars nice and round, you have blown the core some what but if you take some shorter subs you can over lay the shorter subs with the longer ones and it`ll look so much better, or try masking the core before you bring up the levels

Thanks Red Dwarf, I will try masking the core and see if I can protect it a bit better, I have already switched scopes on my mount, so it will be a while before I can get more subs with a shorter exposure
