M13 - Hercules Cluster


Taken with 304mm (12") f/10.0 LX200GPS, canon 300d, 1x5min 1600iso exposure unguided. This is the first long exposure with the LX200 scope on a Mitty Evolution wedge in polar mode. The object was near the zenith and the tracking was good. But this was the last time I was really ever able to take an unguided 5 minute image in that configuration.
