Description

M13 normally looks like a white ball of stars ... but that is not the case. It is populated by yellow and blue stars shown here via special processing. This image was taken with a PW CDK 17 telescope and an SBIG 16803 from my observatory in Foresthill, CA. It is a combination of 300 and 900 second exposures in RGB binned 1 X 1.
