Have you ever wondered what several hundred thousand stars looked like? This is M13, the Hercules Globular cluster.

I haven’t done a star cluster before. I’m setup to try some comet pictures and was looking for a suitable target while I was waiting. This one matched my requirements. It is taken with an ASI1600mm-Pro mono camera using LRGB filters. The camera is attached to the Canon 500mm f/4 IS L II.

I’ve made a couple edits to bring out more stars around the cluster.
