Description

M13 has always been a favorite object of mine to show people in a medium sized telescope. It is one of those objects that at first they will say, "I only see some slight fuzziness!" and then I'll instruct them to just look off to the side a little bit and all of a sudden they will exclaim, "Oh my gosh, it's lot of tiny stars!"

This was my first semi-serious shot of this cluster, putting 3 hours into the RGB image.
