Description

After finishing M53 that night I slewed some degrees back to south east and aimend at Messier 13. That adaption, TAK with reducer and DSLR, should yield the widest field of view available with this refractor and the current set of available equipment. Moonlight was not that much an issue anymore because we were around 3am in the morning since luna started disappearing behind the neighbouring houses.

Here you will find a closer look on that cluster, done on 2018/04/06:
