M13 Globular in Hercules

Another night of autoguiding fun and games. This time I royally messed up. PC could talk to my CGEM mount, could clearly see guiding images from my Meade DSI-C with no bluescreens. However, no guiding could be done. Tried to figure it out for several hours only to realize when packing up that I had not tightened the RA lock well enough on the mount. Utter silliness. Anyway, NEXT time I'll be set.

For now, here's an image of M13. It's a combination of 10 two minute exposures at ISO800 and ten two minute exposures at ISO200 for the core, merged in HDR software.

  1. Put it down to experience! At least you found out what the problem was and know better next time. Nice photo! Kind regards, Brian.
