Description

M13 is a massive collection of stars in a tight ball shape. These objects orbit in the very edge of the milky way, in the galactic halo. They are usually seen as being yellow-orange due to the large quantity of old and low mass stars. These are ideal targets for hugh resolution systems, which ours definitely isnt! A new system is on its way soon, so stay tuned.

The stars dont look quite right with our current reducer in place (to be fixed soon), so no pixel peeping!

This shows M13 in a wider field, and as such there will be some background galaxies, and even a hint of IFN or dust perhaps.

This was captured in May using 120s subs whilst waiting for the milky way

Thanks
