M13 - Hercules Globular Cluster

Here's my first northern target from astrofest. M13. I used to look at it visually with my 65mm Perl Vixen refractor back home in 86 when Halley comet was around. Then I sold that refractor and bought an electric guitar which proved a lot better to pick up girls.

So it's been a long time between drinks when I finally imaged it last week. It was a little low but still a lot higher than in Sydney. Not too sure about the colors. Maybe it should be a little bluer.

I have a full res 1:1 here [8MB - 4256x2822]
It's bigger than my sensor pixel size because I used bayer drizzle.

HD version is here: [2MB - 1920x1273].

You'll see a small galaxy at 2 O'clock in the full res and loads of background faint fuzzies as well. Enjoy the view.
