Messier 13 is large, bright globular cluster found in the Hercules constellation.
This image was taken using an 8300M camera on my Sky-Watcher MN190 Maksutov-Newtonian reflector. It was taken from my back yard in the city over two nights for a total of 7 hours exposure.
This is one of my better globular cluster images. The long integration time helped and the color is better blanced than my previous attempts on M13.
