Title: M13 - 25 April 2020
Post by: MarkS on May 03, 2020, 09:59:28
An old favourite, the M13 globular cluster.  This is just over an hour of data taken before dawn.

Sony A7S on Celestron C11 with Starizona 0.72x reducer/flattener.  Sub exposures were 30sec at ISO 10000.

Here it is at full scale:  http://www.markshelley.co.uk/Astronomy/2020/M13_20200425.jpg

Very nice Mark.  I like the excellent resolution right to the centre and the star colours are great as ever.  I have a similar amount of data for mine but I still need the last colour - it's certainly easier to collect RGB in each sub !

Agree with Roberts comments, lovely as always.

It must be lovely to take such short subs and have dark skies.
