M13

Hi all,

Second light with my Starshoot camera on M13. I did 30 exposures of 10 seconds each (10x30). The image was processed with Nebulosity and came out ok, but I see now that the exposures should have been at least 30 seconds each. I corrected that in later imaging.. Unfortunately, we are having lots of clouds and storms here in Arizona so all I can do is plan the next session.... **chuckle**

Nice going Paul! 8)
Definitely, you need more exposure time... but hey, it is fun isn't it?

Keep it up, and thanks for sharing!

Paul,
Congrats on the image. Seems like you're enjoying the camera and DSOs! If you don't mind a comment or two, in addition to going for more time, I suspect you're clipping the blackpoint during postprocessing, so you might be covering up dim stars in the background.
BTW, I really enjoyed going through your gallery of lunar and solar system shots. Incredible stuff! Makes me want to get out my Toucam (although this deep space stuff is just too addictive!).
Clear skies,
Larry

Nice one Paul. Now you just need to go deeper.... let that camera run for a while and you will like the results.
Cheers,
Tyler
