M13 The Hercules Cluster

I haven't imaged since October 2021....it's always cloudy! I wanted something easy to get back into it

I took this image of M13 with my 1990's 8" Meade LX-50 at F/6.3.

 

6/4/22 & 6/18/22

QHY23M & Meade 8" SCT(F/6.3)

L-10x300sec

R-10x300

G-10x300

B-10x300

 

I also used some older OSC camera data for better star color.

QHY128C & 11" Celestron Edge (F/7)

When checking the images I noticed the blue filtered images were much sharper and produced many more stars. I actually used this as a Luminance layer after the LRGB image was complete.
