Description

M13 Globular cluster is the brightest in the northern hemisphere. It contains old red stars and a large number of blue stars which make it one of the most colorful of clusters.

Image was taken with AP 10inch F6.3 Maksutov Astrograph using modeling to create an object track  and nudge guiding for precision tracking.

RGB image of 4x1200 sec blue 4x1200 sec green and 6x1200 sec red. Sky conditions were hazy with light smoke from fires out west. Transparency was not ideal but seeing was good.
