_2025_07 Messier 13

by Thomas Hanrath

Objects in field: Hercules Globular Cluster, M 13, NGC 6205, NGC 6207, IC 4617

Equipment: Vixen VC200L, Canon EOS R

Integration: 5h 25m

In late May, I captured the Hercules globular cluster M13, about 25,000 light-years away. The image also includes the galaxy NGC 6207 and several faint background galaxies. For this session, I used my Vixen VC200L telescope and a Canon EOS R(a) camera. Good seeing and accurate tracking helped reveal the cluster’s dense star population.
