Description

This image of M-13, the Hercules globular cluster was taken at Kitt Peak observatory near Tucson, Az. I attended an introduction to astrophotography workshop lead by Casey Good back in 2018. We used their Celestron 14" SCT with a Canon 6D DSLR. The image was processed with Registax and Deep Sky stacker. My first attempt at something other than MaximDL6. I don't remember what I did in processing this that it came out so indigo, but I liked the effect and the stars are pin point. Anyway, it was a great workshop and would encourage anyone who is starting out to attend once they resume classes.
