While the moon was out last month I had the EdgeHD8 at StarFront capture some images of the Great Hercules Star Cluster. I collected 2.7 hours of data with no filter. The result is an extremely detailed version of the Hercules Cluster. This is not the first time I have imaged M13 but this one is the best version. It’s also the first version that was processed with v5 of Blur Exterminator and I think that made a big difference in the final image. I hope you enjoy it!
