M13 wide field deep sky

Well, as deep as I could go considering the amount of local light illuminating the sky.

Oh my, you've done a wonderful job of capturing those background galaxies, Roland. They're nicely resolved, too.
If you had gradients from the light pollution, you've handled them perfectly.
I'm wondering if you could mask off the core of M13 and selectively apply curves or levels to further resolve the core.
Will you be adding color to this in the future?

Wow! This is a beautiful version of M13 Roland. 8O I am struck by the number of dim galaxies that are visible in the frame. I didn't realize that there were so many present in that area of the sky.
I am interested in the exposure time that you used..... were the exposures extremely long? How many subs did you use? I would like to attempt this object again while it is high in the sky. Thanks, in advance, for any details you can provide.
Cheers,
Tyler

Very nice, Roland! Two 10-minute subs? Not much in the way of blooming! Did you use the 0.67 Telecompressor?
