HERCULES CLUSTER - All You Need to Know before Imaging M13

[@jrags35]

Always love it when you drill down and give us the the details in a specific target. !!

[@stevekuzmic3911]

Another top effort guys , as usual. Loved the fun fact , the old message in a bottle trick

Perfect video i am in the north hemesphere and m 13 the great globular cluster is visible from here i am very happy with this video its very ouseful

[@enriqueboeneker]

Great tips, guys! Thanks!

[@lterrey]

Love the info, i never plan this stuff, you bring it into the forefront.

[@avt_astro206]

I Loved Watching This. Hope You make More About Targets!

Will do every Messier object :D

[@ekalbkr]

I liked the tip of shorter exposures. It makes sense. I'm currently struggling guiding well with anything over 3 minutes. Will be shooting m13 soon and will definitely go less than 90 seconds.

[@GalacticHunter]

Yes, we used to do 3 minute exposures for all targets but our cluster images really got cleaner once we switched to shorter exposures, at least for globulars :)

[@rexnerf]

I've been lucky enough to see M13 through the Mount Wilson 60 inch scope.

[@astrodad656]

Must have been spectacular!?

[@srikanthmeg]

Did you see the various colors?

[@rexnerf]

@@srikanthmeg You I could, with 60" of light gathering a lot of things had color that normally wouldn't

[@Ishan7019]

General question!! Can you please tell whether to use L-pro or L-extreme for my stock d5300.

[@AstroInDusVerse]

i try to capture it from my astromaster eq130 lol 😂

[@matthewbrown8679]

Did you get another reflector, or was that an old image?

[@GalacticHunter]

The image with our reflector is the "old" one from our 8" Astrograph

[@matthewbrown8679]

@@GalacticHunter Do you miss it yet?

[@travlon5101]

So That's why my image doesn't look as good as your's, is the amount of exposures. You took 30 second exposures for 1hr, 45 min... WOW.. I only did it for 20 minutes. Thanks for the help, as usual.
