M13 (May 2021)

Usually I shoot M13 because I have a few minutes and it is up.  This image started out that way, too, with 1.5 hours collected at the tail end of a long night.  The data was good enough that I thought it worth following up, so here is the followup image.  I am struck by how many stars appear!

This is 65x300" with the Atik 460EXC through the 203mm Synta-ONTC Newtonian at f/4.95.

Hi Val, nice image.
Were the subs 5 min. long? The stars are so tight.

Thanks, Bill! We sometimes have nights of very good seeing here. Yes, 5 minutes.
