Description

Following a glorious day, I prepared for a night of imaging, only to be cut short after an hour by a har from the East. After enjoying recent wide field images of M13 on Astrobin, this image is as wide as it gets in my 8" SCT operating at f3.3 with my 2/3 chip mono camera! As ever flats are proving very tiresome and as a result this image is not calibrated. Aligned and stacked in ASTAP, before processing in Startools using standard workflow, this image comprises just over half an hour of data. Far from perfect (something that I no longer pursue), I am happy to have something to show for my efforts, and I am satisfied that this is better than my last.
