Last astro image for now until the nights start getting longer. This has been on my list for a good while but due to issues with my imaging kit coupled with lack of time I’ve not done nearly as much imaging as I’d liked to have.

M13 is in the constellation Hercules and consists of somewhere between 100000 and 300000 stars. A spectacular target and one that can be seen with a reasonable telescope as well.

Great pic. It also reminds me from one of those space explosions from something like Space 1999

Terrific. What's the orange blob, bottom right?

@tthew - just a star. I would have to look up which one...

@big_scot_nanny - yes very happy. Finally feel like I'm achieving some half decent results. I have been re-working some of the other data I have and have made very useful improvements to M51 too.
