M13 - The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules

M13, located in the constellation Hercules, is one of the brightest and most spectacular globular clusters in the northern sky. Approximately 500,000 stars are packed into a region with a diameter of 150 light-years at a distance of 25,000 light-years. The red and blue giant stars appear in yellowish and bluish hues.

With this reprocessing, I was able to make a large number of very faint stars visible in the outer regions of the cluster, making M13 appear significantly larger compared to my first version. Hope you like it!
