Messier 13

by Eduardo Barbosa

Objects in field: Hercules Globular Cluster, M 13, NGC 6205, NGC 6207

Equipment: Sky-Watcher Esprit 100ED, QHYCCD QHY268 M

Integration: 12h 45m

One of the Milky Way's oldest globular clusters, home to several hundred thousand stars packed into a remarkably compact space. Familiar, frequently imaged, and still difficult to ignore. Most of the integration was captured over several nights close to the full Moon, partly as an experiment.
