M13 The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules

[eshy76]

Hi everyone,

Well, nebula season came and went hidden behind the clouds, but the show must go on! This is my first attempt at a star cluster and it was my secondary target of the night.

This is a crop of a much wider field which I will include in the next post. I would have cropped closer, but I wanted to keep the galaxy at the top of the image!

Pretty happy with the result given the 430mm focal length and 1.8 hours of RGB exposure!

Full details here

Thanks for looking!
