The great Hercules cluster is one of the skies more precious jewels. It contains approximately 400,000 stars spread across 140 light years, the stars in the center are just a few astronomical units (AU) apart. M13 resides in the constellation of Hercules (The Strongman), 5.8th magnitude and 25,000 light years distant from Earth.

Taken with an AT12RC at the Fox Park Star Party, thanks to Jason Blaschka.
Roughly 2 hours of exposure ISO 400. 60sec and 120sec exposures. My camera doesnt like ISO's other than 1600 it would seem, I often get banding at other ISO's. However I wanted the star color which turned out good.

Comments: The conditions on 5/30 were poor and deteriorating, the wind was a problem and it cloud up completely around 11. Quit the session at 12:00. The conditions on 5/23 were fair. I wanted to shoot M13 again without the compressor on the AT8RC.

pastebin.com/xAwrdJNd this has no charging handle
pastebin.com/5TG45e1V this one does
sorry for the size i had to crop it in paint because the jpg was to big for my computer to handle
alright sorry i forgot to put on a carging handle on ill try to fix in the code
so for those who care this gun started as an artillary wepon, but then i thought... wait i havent made the m13 yet so then i when and started making the spring on the barrel then the stock and ep then grip ect. and bang one of my wepon that i can acually tollerate
Messier 13, aka The Great Cluster in Hercules, is approximately 22-25K light years away, is about 150 light years in diameter, and contains well over a hundred thousand stars. At magnitude 5.8 it can be seen with the naked eye in a dark enough sky, thought to date, that is not something I can yet claim!

An Italian artillery Colonel named Sergio Berlese (who designed the Obice da 75/18 modello 34) suggested that Italy should create an armoured fighting vehicle similar to the German StuG III, which had been successful in the French campaign. The first prototype was quickly assembled and delivered, on February 10, 1941, only 13 months after the first M13/40 tank upon which it was based. After that, 60 more examples were ordered. They were delivered in 1941, and were then shipped to North Africa in January 1942. This initial batch was based on the M13 chassis, with its weak 125 hp engine (later to be replaced by one of 145 hp, with M14 chassis).
Structurally, this self-propelled gun was built with riveted steel plates, which were thicker but also less sloped than in the original tank (50 mm as against 42 mm max). Frontal armour was almost vertical, but it consisted of two plates that strengthened it when compared to a simple homogeneous steel plate

Enjoy :)
Was limited to 25 second subs due to drift alignment issues so this is 50 x 25 second subs stacked with 60 darks and no flats. All unguided obviously with an unmodded 350d, at prime focus of an
8-inch f/5 newtonian. Only my second attempt at deep sky, got a lot to learn but I'm happy.
M13 is a globular cluster 145 light years in diameter and containing around 300,000 stars. It is thought to be over 11 billion years old and is located 25,000 light years away from Earth.
Lonsdale Coaches' Carlyle bodied Ford Transit M13, B 59 AOP was new to West Midlands P.T.E. and pictured at Lancaster bus station.
I had the opportunity to photograph my friend's wedding a while back. The location they chose was Los Alamos, a couple of hours north of their home in Los Angeles.
It's a classic old stage coach town which includes the Union Hotel where Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney shot a video years ago.
The reception was at the fantastic Bedford Winery.
This is the M13 Cluster located in the Hercules Constellation. (AKA the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules). According to wikipedia, it is composed of several hundred thousand stars, with estimates varying from around 300,000 to over half a million. Can you spot the small galaxy (NGC6207) just below/left of the cluster?

M13 A209OKJ MCW Metrobus 2 DR102/42/MCW H46/31F. New March 1984. Ten of these Metrobuses were purchased for use in the Medway Towns and Tunbridge Wells areas. Apart from the Olympian coaches, they were the first new double deckers supplied since production of the Bristol VRT stopped in 1980. This is another example of M&D's new livery, and was only outshopped in August.

Hubble catches an instantaneous glimpse of many hundreds of thousands of stars moving about in the globular cluster M13, one of the brightest and best-known globular clusters in the northern sky.
This glittering metropolis of stars is easily found in the summer sky in the constellation Hercules. It lies about 25,000 light-years away.
