M13

I've had this one hanging around for a while. I was going to post it and then Martin posted one that was about ten times better so I decided not to bother. Anyway I gave mine a few tweaks and now think it looks okay. So for what it's worth here it is.

It's taken from Arizona of course. Much too low to be attempted here.

Cheers

Steve

It is worth the bother Steve. Great shot.

I particularly like the small GX bottom right, classy.

Great photo Steve. I remember seeing this one visually with my first telescope, a 65mm refractor, in 86 chasing Halley.

Yes - I count about 14 galaxies but I'm sure that many of the
soft looking stars are also galaxies as well.
I like images to go deep - it's amazing what else you see besides the target.

Thanks Marc. I've only ever seen it from my backyard once and had to wait for it to come out from behind a tree.

It was pretty high back home. The only bright enough DSO I could see visually and easy to find were M42, M13 and Andromeda.

Were you in Arizona or was it from a remote site?

That's excellent Steve, as good as Martins really, once you allow for the equipment (and perhaps site?) difference

Thanks Mike. I suppose it's not bad for 20cm.
