M13 - 18 Aug 05 was created by DaveGrennan
Managed to get a 3.5 minute exposure of M13 last night despite the presence of an almost full moon. I manually guided the shot with a piggybacked 5"mak on the back of the C9.25



Details:

Telescope: C9.25@F10 on CG5GT mount.
Camera: Canon EOS 300D @ ISO 1600
Filter: Parks Optical LPR filter.
Processing: RAW image, converted to 16bitTIF in canon file viewer and then cropped and contrast enhanced in paint shop pro v7.

Regards and Clear Skies,

Dave.

Dave, Great effort, just wait until the moon is out of the way :D
Stars are pinpoint and your tracking is spot on :D

Just like what you'd see in the eyepiece!

Good shot Dave,
you can really get a sence of the "arms" that you see visually through the scope.
