Hi Ido,

Nice images. One question for you though.... how did you combine your M13 frames without saturating the brighter stars but still bringing out the fainter stars? globular clusters have been driving me nuts because of that problem.

Regards,

Maurice

Nice group of images Ido.
That big scope gathers up the light quick!

I'm glad to see someone else is using a larger SCT. (But do I see it is not sitting on the original fork?!) And you took these remotely! Sounds great that you can trust things to work as planned. Thanks for posting.
