Messier 13 - Great Globular Cluster in Hercules with 8"

Best viewed in full view ;) If anyone knows how I can save my images in order to make the previews look nicer please let me know.

Second attempt this year on M13. I just love globular clusters and my quest for the propellor in M13 continues. It is getting a bit better now with 8". Stars are not as nice sized as they could be with a better suited mount but I am quite happy with this one now.

I chose M3 and M13 as my first targets to have a direct comparison between the 6" and the 8" and yes the extra 200mm focal length help a lot but also yes guiding is a bit more tricky with the extra size....

Could use some more LUM but I want to move on now to galaxies ;)

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
