M13 - The Great Cluster
The Great Cluster in the constellation Hercules – also known as Messier 13, or M13 – is considered to be the finest globular cluster in the northern hemesphere. It conatins more than 300,000 stars and is 25,100 light-years from Earth. This image is the result of 10 x 180s exposures. Captured using Nebulosity 3, the colour data is missing from this image for some reason, but clearly shows lots of fine detail in the cluster.
