M13 DSLR only. No telescope

[MKHACHFE]

Hi all, had a productive session last night and attempted gorgeous M13 with my seriously basic setup. What do you think? Other than the loss of star colours , I'm pretty pleased with this as I was not expecting so much detail to come through without a telescope. Details:

 

Unmodified canon 4000dS

StarAdventurer Mini

F7.1 70-300mm set at 290mm

1600 ISO

146x15s

8 flats

16 darks

Stacked in DSS and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop

 

Cheers

Cheers mate. I managed to improve the image a bit just now using lightroom on my phone...yes really. Can't sleep.

Or maybe it's overdone..either way, as I said, it's far better than I was expecting.

Beautiful,

Just makes you want to reach out and hold it in your hand.
