Description

This is a composite of wide-angle image data from the Takahashi CCA250, acquired in May 2014, and the PlaneWave CDK17 from July 2013. To acquire an image of this scale with the 17" would have required a lot more hours of imaging, so adding its higher resolution data on M13 and nearby objects to the lower resolution wide-angle data makes a pleasing image without so much time commitment.

Image acquired at Sugar Grove Observatory and Prairie Sky Observatory, facilities of Twin City Amateur Astronomers (tcaa.us).
