M13 - Globular Cluster in Hercules

Dear Friends,

One of the most stunning globular clusters visible from northern latitudes is M13 in Hercules and which is currently well-placed right now for observation and imaging.

For an image of M13 based on two-hours total exposure, please see www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-6205.htm ... please make sure you click on the hyperlinked image to load the same image but with much better image scale.

Weather permitting this evening, I will pursue M92 also in Hercules and also an impressive globular on its own.

Clear skies!

A great image Anthony, there are alot of globulars in the sky at the moment, I just wish the clouds would go away so we could have a look.

Hi Dave,

Just a little patience my friend .... we are just a step away from summer and the good weather.

I am rubbing my hands in anticipation of a lot of work over the next five to six months since we are getting into prime weather season for us in the southeastern mediterranean.

Anthony,

That is a truly magnificent image. A stunning portrait!

Many congratulations.

Excellent image Anthony! Stars are nicely resolved to the core.

Hi Anthony,

Great image m13 is one of the best things to look at trough a telescope I'll never forget the first time i saw it, it's up there with saturn.
