Description

As I am waiting for galaxy season to end, looking forward imaging nebula, I wanted to image Messier 13, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules. I think I have solved my focuser tilt / back focus problem. The stars are looking mostly round out to the corners of the image.

The cluster is 84 light years across, and is 22,200 to 25,000 light years away from us.

1 hour 40 minutes of exposure.
