Description

The great Hercules cluster M13, image from 1 Click Data from Telescope Live, using the telescope from Spain, SPA-2, Officina Stellare ProRC 700. Stars a bit elongated but it is possible to enjoy the beauty of the cluster. This is one of the largest globular clusters we can see even with small scopes or binoculars. I also believe that there is a quite romantic aspect on observing this cluster, maybe because it is very representative of what to expect of such a deep sky object, in shape, colours and so on.

It is an LRGB image from 4/5/4/5 exposures of each filter for 300" each.
