Description

Globular cluster M13 captured with my Nexstar 8SE and Nikon D5100.

There are 2 galaxies visible in the shot. One obvious one towards the lower left and one much closer to the cluster to its left. That smaller one (IC4617) is about 500 millions light years away!! I was blown to see it in my subs! The photons I collected that night left that galaxy when life on this planet was first crawling out of the oceans!
