Messier 13, The Great Hercules cluster

Revision title: Tightening up the stars a bit

Messier 13 The Great Cluster in the constellation of Hercules , 22200 ly away, and a few distant galaxies in the background.
The two fain galaxies on the left hand side is the spiral Galaxy NGC6207 which lies in a distance of 30million lightyears from Earth and the faints and closer to the cluster is the IC4617
Discovered by Edmond Halley i 1714 and cataloged by Charles Messier in 1764
Last image for this season at 60°N as the nights getting shorter and the night sky is getting brighter.
I also had a tough battle with the bright core in this cluster, so this result is what I landed on and this time I will not be providing a starless version for obvious reasons A starless, globular cluster would actually look strange😉.

Hope you like it

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
