Description

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
