M13 - Deeper Exposure; Longer Integration; Darker Site

Update 7-18-2021:
This revision (C) is fully reprocessed with PI using full calibration of raw linear data with Bias, Darks and Flats. Original image was processed with RawTherapee/DSS/Ps and only Flats were used for calibration.

Original Post (Bias & Darks not applied to original revision):
After recent imaging tests of M13 with the new RC8 from the backyard, and trying to get collimation of the scope dialed in, I figured it was time for a dark sky site test.

This M13 Image was captured over two nights from Fremont Peak. Seeing was above average on night 1 but windy. Seeing was poor on night 2 but no winds. This hobby seems to always find some way to prevent getting that perfect data.

Pretty sure the collimation is not yet dialed in, but it was nice to see how the MYT & RC8 handled 10 minute exposures of this target at f/8.

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.
