Description

Shortly after grinding my own mirror for an 8" Newtonian, M13 was one of the first objects that I  became acquainted with... it's splendid in any aperture but I find it really comes to life at around 227X through my 14" SCT.   Seeing was very good on the night/early morning of this imaging effort with the Seestar gathering  nearly 3 hrs of data as I slept. Resampling with a  2x "drizzle" and stacking in Siril were used to pluck it from a bright moonlit sky. Post processing was a simple DBE,  SPCC, BXT ,masked stretch and curve transform  in PI.
