M13 - Hercules Globular Cluster

Happy with this one. I've heard all about M13 but it never gets above 20 degrees altitude where I am. I think it was 11-14 degrees for this capture: 20 x 3 min subs at ISO 800. Given the altitude and moonlight, it turned out OK.

Funny to think this is widely regarded as the best example of a globular cluster visible to most northern hemisphere observers. Not a patch on Omega Centauri or 47 Tuc.
