As it got later last night, it got better.
M92 in my G5 SCT with a 7.5mmTak LE 180x 17'Afov. The halo of M92 took up about 1/3 or a little more of the 17'fov. Many stars were resolved all around the halo and somewhat into the core.
M13 in my G5 SCT with a 6mmUOortho 225x 11'Afov. The halo of M13 fills the entire 11'fov. Counted 22 stars resolved in the halo with many more too difficult too isolate in the count. Counted 10 stars in the core which took up about 1/4 of the 11'Afov. Estimated 30 to 40 stars in the halo and 20 stars resolved in the core. What a fine sight it was!
The 6mm UOorhto allowed resolving more stars than the 7.5mm TakLe, I believe just due to the magnification that permitted deeper penetration.
