M13 from Rome

Hi to everybody,

I live in Rome (Italy) in a high polluted site, typically I use a CGE 9.25, a Sbig camera and some lenses (Rubinar and Nikon) together with a portable setup builded around a Celestron ASGT.

During the last month I have reprocessed some 3 months ago images. This is one of that.

That's my first serious attempt to shoot M13 from my urban site, trying to get rid of the pollution I have used a Baader UHC filter also if this is not a right subject for that filter. It's interesting to view that this filter cut all the frequencies due to the typical street light but needs a quite massive color rebalance work.


Cge 9.25 f/6.4 (1500 mm)
Sbig 2000 XCM selfguided.
6x600 sec bin 1x1 Baader UHC-S

Reduction CCDOps
Align, Sharpen CCDSoft
Combining Sigma Beta 11
L-RGB

Comments and suggestion are welcome
