Description

At the 47th parallel North, I only get about 3hrs of true darkness and lots of cloudy nights, so here is M13 with 3hrs of integration time! I like how the shroud around the core looks like noise but it's actually a cloud of 100,000 densely packed stars that make up this amazing cluster.

Description: Pulled some green out of the image. SPCC had trouble color balancing because the green filter's signal was so strong from imaging in the middle of the night and the other filters where closer to twilight.
