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.

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.

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/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

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.
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!

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
M13 isn’t a single star. It’s a swarm. One of the great globular clusters in our galaxy, hanging in the constellation Hercules.
Roughly 22,000 light years away.
Several hundred thousand stars packed into a sphere about 145 light years across.
At the core, the density is extreme. Stars separated by a fraction of a light year, compared to our Sun’s nearest neighbor at over 4 light years. If you stood on a planet there, the night sky would never go dark. It would feel crowded, almost pressurized with light.
These are old stars. Very old. Around 11 to 13 billion years. They formed early, before the Milky Way fully settled into the shape we know now. What you’re seeing is a relic population, orbiting the galaxy like a halo.
No single star defines it.
It only exists as a collective.

hundred thousands of stars spread over a field of only 145 lightyears diameter, such an amazing densitiy.

i compared focus to my images from 2017 (on gras) and it s very bad from my balcony at those hot temperatures :( processed them anyway
Zdjęcie wykonane bez pomocy teleskopu. To najciemniejszy i najbardziej oddalony obiekt, który sfotografowałem. 25 tysięcy lat świetlnych od Ziemi.
Gromady kuliste to intrygujące twory - monstrualne skupiska gwiazd. Ta akurat jest najjaśniejszą gromadą widzianą z północnej półkuli.

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.

Comments: Clear dark skies. Originally most of the frames where taken with as luminosity.
Reprocessed to use the Ha as red and red as blue, manipulated the color levels and applied aggressive stretching while avoiding clipping.
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.

Mit schon etwa 60% Mond doch noch M13 fotografiert. Ausrüstung wie immer: OM-1, 300mm f4 mit TC14, Sky Watcher Star Adventurer. 50 min Belichtung, ISO 1250, f5.6. Je 30 darks, flats and biases. Bearbeitung in Siril und Lightroom. Schon deutlich besser als mein früheres Bild von M3.
