< Previous Next >Few nights ago I took a visual look at this cluster. It was a fabulous glittering ball of stars! I would have imaged it then, but I found that my tube collided with tripod when polar aligned and pointed at M13. Later I learned "Equatorial Tango" and managed to make my mount track M13. It did come out better than I expected!
