About this image

Another quick test image.

A useful image of a well known and very interesting object.

Globular clusters contain some of the oldest stars in our local neigbourhood with stars that have long since moved away from the main sequence.

M13 has stars as old as 12 billion years.

To the far left of this image is Galaxy 6207 at Apparent Mag 11.7. Easily visible though the 250mm SCT OTA.
