Description

In addition to the magnificent M13 globular cluster, the image also includes two galaxies.  NGC 6207 (top right of frame) and IC 4617 (top right of cluster).  The latter is remarkably nearly 500 million light years away. The photons from this galaxy which were collected by my camera began their journey across the cosmos at about the time life was first emerging from the oceans on earth.
