Messier 13 - The Great Hercules Cluster
A stunning view I captured of Messier 13: The Hercules Cluster on April 19, 2015 at Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA. Messier 13 is a massive globular cluster in the constellation Hercules. Found at 25,000 light years distant, M13 is about 150 light years in diameter. The core region of M13 is so dense, that upwards of 100 stars may exist in an area of 3 light years of space. M13 is barely naked eye visible under dark skies without the Moon present.
Photo Details:
Camera: Canon 60D MagicLantern
1370mm
f/9
ISO: 2500
Exposure: 120 seconds * 10 frames
This is a median composite of 10 shots to reduce noise.
