M13 - The Great Cluster in Hercules

Date: 22nd August 2007

Equipment:: Celestron Nexstar 8" SCT, Canon 400D at prime focus.

Exposure: A single 3 minute sub at ISO1600.

Processing: Stacked in DeepSkyStacker and processed in PaintshopPro.

Comments: A beautiful jewel box of a cluster in Hercules. The tracking on this night was not very good and most of the images had to be thrown away. This was the best one, though you can still see doubling on all of the stars.

Credits: Many thanks to Bill Scott for loan of his Celestron Nexstar telescope.
