My First M13 of this year!

Very well done. That's one of the best images I've seen of M13!

WOW well done mate what an image well chuffed with that one.

PS
If i say somthing else nice about the image, will you make it a even tenner :lol:

This is a SERIOUS image and worthy of every compliment. It is a great example of what a globular cluster is and represents.

Nice work Dave!!!!

Thanks for all the kind comments guys n' gals.

Quite frankly I was amazed myself when this one popped up on screen. I think the key here was the longer exposures. I had never really considered M13 in need of lenghty exposures. Because it's so bright the tendency is to think in terms of lots of short exposures. I knd of backs up the thinking siscussed in the thread on Michael's wonderful M51 image.

Another thing to watch out for. I got a call from a reporter from the Indo today and they are considering publishing this very image in tomorrows edition!!

Anyway thanks again for all the comments.
