Description

With the moon flooding a murky spring sky, I went hunting for an object that could stand up to it. M13 fit the bill. It's just beginning its long climb toward the zenith and is now mostly an early morning object. 

I've shot this dazzling globular cluster before, but not with my newly outfitted C9.25 and OAG. The Great Hercules Cluster is a swarm of stars and never disappoints.
