Here's my attempt at good ol' M13. Really like how my scope held the focus during the night. Also the "Star Shape" setting as weighting for the subs in AstropixelProcessor helped a lot to get the smallest and nicest stars out of the stack. Quite pleased with how this one turned out. Also only a minimum of post processing was needed.
Again in my featured series "how it all begun" I hereby present you my last version of M13 from last year: M13 Single Shot
