Discovered in 1714 by the astronomer Edmond Halley, the globular cluster Messier 13 is situated some 25100 light years from earth in the constellation of Hercules and is said to be the most spectacular globular cluster visible from the northern hemisphere. With its 145 light year diameter and several hundred thousand stars, it is believed that at times M13 can become so crowded close to its center that stars collide and form new so-called “blue stragglers” that are more luminous and bluer than their older and cooler neighbours. The age of the Great Hercules Globular Cluster is said to be approximately 11.65 billion years.

je vous amène dans la constellation d'Hercule pour y découvrir le très célèbre "grand amas d'Hercule" ou messier 13
il s'agit d'un amas globulaire, il regroupe plus de 100000 étoiles dans un diamètre d’à peine 150 années-lumière
il est à une distance de 25000 années-lumière
c'est un objet assez lumineux, magnitude 5.8, sous un très bon ciel, il est détectable à l'œil nu (en utilisant la vision décalée, en fait, les astronomes utilisent tout le temps la vision décalée quand on fait de l'observation aux instruments), l'amas est parfaitement visible aux jumelles, la meilleure période pour le voir, à partir de juin, il est visible tout l'été
M13 est l’un des plus vieux objets de notre galaxie, son âge est estimé à au moins 12 milliards d’années
En 1974, un « message » à l’attention d’éventuelles civilisations extraterrestres a été envoyé en direction de l’amas d’Hercule, au moyen du grand radiotélescope d’Arecibo, radiotélescope qui, depuis, s'est effondré le 1 décembre 2020 !!
Compte-tenu de la distance de M13, ce message arrivera dans 25000 ans et la réponse éventuelle ne nous reviendra au minimum qu’après la même durée.
Mais, compte-tenu de la vitesse de déplacement de M13, certains astronomes considèrent que le message radio passera ... à côté de l’amas dans 25000 ans !
Le message d'Arecibo est un message radio de 1679 bits émis le 16 novembre 1974.
Le nombre 1679 a été choisi parce qu'il est le produit de deux nombres premiers et ne peut donc être divisé qu'en 73 lignes et 23 colonnes (ou vice-versa). Cela suppose que ceux qui pourraient le lire devront l'arranger comme un quadrilatère, en fonction de comment ils arrangeront le message, soit cela ne voudra absolument rien dire !! ou alors ils verront apparaitre les informations suivantes : les chiffres de 1 à 10, le numéro atomique d'atomes (hydrogène, carbone, azote, oxygène, phosphore), des données sur l'ADN, des illustrations sur l'apparence humaine et la population humaine de 1974, ainsi que les coordonnées de la Terre au sein du système solaire et une représentation du radiotélescope d'Arecibo avec ses dimensions.
La galaxie en haut à gauche est référencée sous le numéro NGC6207, elle est située à environ 42 millions d'années-lumière.
Juste au dessus de l'amas, une autre galaxie, IC4617
à droite, il y a une autre galaxie, 2MASX J16394918+3632001, je ne connais pas sa distance

Haven't been around these parts for a while :) I see Flickr has changed yet again!
This is my 2014 version of M13, and is considerably better than the out of focus effort I did last year, albeit with only half the time. The faint stuff around the edges is difficult under my skies, so I have to settle for "nearly..." :)

This object is about 22-25 thousand light years away and is about 145 light years in diameter. This consists of a ball of several hundred stars packed together. Last night was almost a full moon, so my plan was to work on my telescope system to tune things up. After I did this I thought I would try M13 again. M13 was one of the first objects I shot - this effort captured 100 images at 30 seconds each. I was quite please with the star colors I captured - a nice improvement over my first effort. Also note the edge on galaxy NGC 6207 in the upper right corner of the shot. This is an edge-on spiral galaxy that is 30 million light years away....

25,000 thousand light years away, The Great Globular Cluster of Hercules lies in its namesake constellation. A mere 145 light-years across, this cluster might contain as many as a million stars!
The Milky way Galaxy is rife with globular clusters like M13. They are typically very old structures, being bound together by mutual gravity, and orbit the nucleus of a galaxy for billions of years.
Although these objects are not very well understood, globular clusters are considered to be a tell-tale sign that a galaxy harbors a super-massive black hole. Astronomers have found a correlation between the mass of a galactic nucleus and the population of globular clusters. The Milky Way contains nearly 200 globular clusters like M13 and lends support to other observations that our galaxy does indeed contain a super-massive black hole.

Is it really observing if you're using a smart telescope? You're not star-hopping, not focusing manually, not even aligning. Just tapping a screen.
I think the answer depends on what you're doing — and how you're looking.
This image of M13 isn’t spectacular. So hold your fancy invites :) It’s one of my first with the Seestar S50, a 50mm all-in-one scope I’m learning under Norway’s bright summer skies, to be ready for autumn and winters darkness.
I picked M13 because I used to chase it as a kid, peering through a 60mm scope my dad gave me. I still remember the thrill of finding that fuzzy patch among the stars.
And while the Seestar handled the pointing and capturing, something happened that reminded me why this is still observing: While glancing at the iPad during the exposure, I noticed a "star" near the cluster that looked… wrong. Faintly fuzzy. Off.
I paused. Looked again. My instincts — sharpened long ago — kicked in. That’s no star, thats a galaxy! The inner voice was from the kid I was and still is. And of course it had a 'Han Solo voice over' sound to it!
Sure enough, it was NGC 6207, a distant edge-on spiral galaxy just northeast of M13. I never saw it as a kid, but in that moment, something in me recognized it. Not because the scope found it, but because I did. Still observing.
And honestly? I think devices like the Seestar s50 are fantastic. Go sky-shopping. Don’t worry whether it “counts.” If the sky catches you… you will start observing.
The objects of the story I made flickr notes of, just move mouse pointer over the picture.
A picture of M13, a globular cluster I took last week (5hr 20min total exposure.) It is roughly 300,000 stars, about 25,000 light-years away, but still within our galaxy. It's just barely visible with the naked eye, in a dark sky.
I show it off-center to illustrate a couple more galaxies in the shot. Off to the right is NGC6207-- 37 million LYs away from us. And to the lower right is IC 4617. The light from this distant object was emitted by the galaxy 489 million light-years ago, and then was captured by my camera last week, to show you.

The Mark 1 Chaika, the GAZ M13, debuted in 1958. It was produced from 1959 to 1981, with 3,179 built in all. The M13 was powered by a 195-hp SAE gross 5.5 L V8 and driven through a push-button automatic transmission of a similar design to the Chrysler TorqueFlite unit. It was offered as a saloon (GAZ 13), limousine (GAZ 13A), and four-door cabriolet (GAZ 13B) with an electrohydraulic top. The cabriolet was made in 1961 and 1962 for official parades.
As a limousine-class car, Chaikas were available only to the Soviet government, and could not be purchased by average citizens. However, citizens were allowed to rent Chaikas for weddings. Chaikas were used by Soviet ambassadors and Communist Party First Secretaries in East Germany, Korea, Bulgaria, Hungary, Mongolia, and Finland, among others; Fidel Castro was given one by General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev, who himself preferred the Chaika to his ZIL, and kept one at his summer dacha. For their larger size and more powerful V8, Chaikas were also ordered in some quantity by the KGB. Top speed was 99 mph
First light image from my RC10 telescope was captured on 14th July on a night troubled by high cloud. This is the first image following collimation using a Takahashi collimation scope.

The Chaika was a mid-size sedan used mostly by party officials and ambassadors. However also citizens could purchase a Chaika.
But note the resemblance with a mid 1950s Packard. It is most likely based on the 1955-1956 Packard Patrician. However the rear fins plus lamp units are taken from the 1957 Pontiac sedan.
The Chaika M13 was designed by Lev Eremeev and was positioned under the ZIS/ZIL limousine.
From 1977, the successor GAZ-14 was also built, parallel to the GAZ-13, until the construction of the dated GAZ-13 Chaika was finally ended in 1981.
This Russian Chaika was part of an exhibition about the former communist state limousines. In the context of openness of state bodies in the new Czech democracy, President Václav Havel (1936-2011) decided to show the official state limousines to the people. These state cars were not in use anymore after the fall of the Iron Curtain in October/November 1989.

L'amas globulaire M13 ou Messier 13, très souvent appelé le Grand Amas d'Hercule, est parmi les objets les plus imposants du catalogue Messier.
Comportant plus de 500 000 étoiles, il est aussi l'un des plus vieux objets : son âge est estimé à 12 ou 14 milliards d'années.
M13 a été utilisé en 1974 (le 16 novembre) comme cible pour l'envoi d'un message à une potentielle civilisation extraterrestre. Ce message a été envoyé à partir du radiotélescope d'Arecibo, qui participait au projet SETI (il s'est effondré en décembre 2020). Il contenait des informations comme les chiffres, le numéro atomique de l'hydrogène, du carbone, de l'azote, de l'oxygène et du phosphore, des données sur l'ADN, la forme et la taille d'un humain, la population terrestre, et la position de la Terre dans le système solaire. Il mettra plus de 22 000 ans à y parvenir (autant pour la réponse éventuelle).
