Hi, well I decided to give a Globular Cluster a try, it has been a long time. I had some extra hours on Friday, so I did M-13.
Hope you like it.

Another winner! Great shot...I can even see detail in the NGC and IC nearby. That little IC is hard to see visually (20"scope with my eyes)...I can see in your image that there's a little star at one tip...now I know if I ever see both the galaxy and the star the seeing is real good and the skies are dark.
