Description

This was a very short single-night project I did after my target went behind trees one night. The Hercules Globular Cluster is located about 22,000 light years and contains 300,000-500,000 stars. M13 is one of the brightest, and perhaps most famous Northern Hemisphere Globular Clusters, and is also the location in which the famous Arecibo Message was sent to.
