Messier 13 - LRGB

Post by cataclysm »

Imaged this on 2 June. This was the first successful attempt to capture all LRGB data in a single session with the DSI III pro camera. The sky transparency was poor, the Moon high up in its crescent phrase didn't help either. I had to limit each exposure to 200s b4 being overwhelmed by the air glow. The imaging scope is a F4.5 Newtonian.
