Description

Not really a "first light" of the observatory in France, but the first image that is completely finished. A classic: M13 or the great globular cluster in the constellation Hercules.

The recording was done remotely with a homemade Newton telescope, a 25cm F4 on EQ8. The subframes of 5 minutes were taken in 4 nights: May 6, 15 of May, June 5th and June 6th.

In total, exposed a little more than 8 hours with the ST8300 (LRGB 93, 133, 133, 129).

The processing was done with Pixinsight, fine tuning was done in Photoshop.
