Thanks to ron's book, I was able to salvage an m13 image. Unfiltered 5 minute self guided exposure with st-2000 binned 1x1 at f/10 focus of Nexstar 11". Processed in photoshop then reduced in size. This was during my tinkering phase, I think I'm ready to hunker down ad get some solid images now. A few more exposures would have smoothed out the noise a good bit.

Nice result; very good detail here, and lots of outer stars as well. A slightly lower black point might be good. I can see a bit of coma at lower and central right; a little touch up to collimation would be a good idea.
