PeterBolt Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) It's been a year since I took my first picture of space which was M13. I was keen to visit it again this year to see if I have improved. Could have done with a bit more time but I quite like the colours. 1) captured in 17/07/2021 2) captured on 13/07/2020 Edited July 18, 2021 by PeterBolt 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmot Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Nice shot. I agree that the colours are great, even in the single stars outside of the main cluster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globular clusters can be a pain to get good focus. SGP treats the core of M13 as one giant star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I didn't realize that....I have only recently started using NINA which seemed to do a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a workaround in SGP, just focus on a subframe away from the cluster. Works a treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
