Messier 13

This is my first decent astro photo using a telescope. It is the great globular cluster M13 in Hercules, a personal favourite of mine. Taken on the clear, windy night of the 26th; most of the frames had to be discarded .

 

Equipment used...

 

Celestron nexstar 8se

Canon 550D

T2 to 1.25" adaptor

 

16 frames at 3200iso and 11sec shutter. I used photoshop to remove the light pollution then stacked them in Deep Sky Stacker, no dark or flat frames used.
