Second attempt at M13

[scotty38]

I took this a few nights ago and plenty of moonlight so tried for a greater number of shorter frames....

Very nice!  That's come out great @scotty38

The tiny galaxy at 2'o'clock (edge of cluster) and the slightly larger one a little further out look good against the cluster.

You've got a little bit of stacking artefacts around the edges that can be easily cropped off.

Thanks Lee, I didn't crop it at all as I was too busy trying to get an image that looked something like... My previous attempt had been at 2 or 3 minutes so wanted to try a much shorter exposure to see if I could combat the moon and also not blow out the centre of the cluster as much. I'm then trying to see what I can do in either APP or PI as my trials for those run out soon but really all I've been doing in either of them is stack all the frames 🙂

I think you're doing a great job.  The above is starting to show more of the outer cluster and looks great into the core, nice background and lots to look over at 1:1 without any artefacts etc (bar the stacking ones).
