Description

I hadn't really intended to photograph M13. The weather forecast promised a night of clear sky, but the Moon was just about full. So I planned an evening of equipment testing and learning more about some new software. But at the end of the night of testing and learning I realised I had quite a few subframes featuring M13, and that they looked fairly decent - despite the moonlight. So I had a go at processing them. I was pleased to find that the end result was an improvement on my previous images of this target - although I'm not sure I understand how that has happened!
