M13 31.05.20

Beautiful night under the stars last night.

My first attempt at M13. Amazed at the beautful colours of the stars. I know you should take different lengths of exposures to blend and try to stop the centre burning out, but quite pleased for my first effort.

Very nice, what processing did you use.

I used Pixinsight for the initial processing, then...cropped, ABE, background neutralisation, MultiScaleLinearTransformation, HistogramTransformation, Curves to increase saturation. I then adjusted colours and levels/curves further in Photoshop. I'm still learning the basic of Pixinsight...Deconvolution is the next thing I need to learn 🤔
