M13 Globular Cluster

[WolfieGlos]

Clusters are great with the Moon period, so here is the popular M13 Globular in Hercules.

Stacked in ASTAP, processed with Siril and GIMP. Once again, the star colours from ASTAP are great, much better than a stack from Siril.

144 x 60s subs (02:24:00), imaged across 3 sessions after capturing subs on other targets.

Canon 800Da + Starfield 102 + HEQ5. No filters.

Wow that's a stunner. Nice work. Can't beat a Glob image done well.

Thanks Peter! As I said in the post, I find ASTAP stacking much better for star colour. It just doesn't do as well as Siril with satellite and jet trails, otherwise I would have had 3 hours of exposure...but I don't think it would have made much of a difference here anyway.
