Messier 13 - The Hercules Globular Cluster

This is the first image I processed with my new Newtonian telescope. I have to say...its absolutely AMAZING!!!!

Although technically this isn't a first light ..kinda. Another image will be uploaded soon which I have worked on over all of September which does include data from my very first nights with this gem

!

It absolutely surprised me, how much of an improvement this telescope was over my previous attempt of M13. The sharpness is just enough to see all the beauty of M13 and despite only being around 2hrs of integration, the data was also already deep enough to showcase details on the small galaxies in this image. I am very excited for galaxy season!!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
