#M13 - A test of resolution

Normally when I get a new telescope, I like to test the raw resolution of the telescope by shooting M13. That and the moon was out at the time and I wanted to shoot something in broadband. M13 was an obvious choice.

On top of that, I was trying to see if I had fixed the "donut of death" I was getting (I did not) so I didn't want to shoot data for a project which could potentially be bad and get tossed the day after. I also just love how fantastic broadband stars are with the Antlia LRGB-V Pro filters. I can't get enough of them.

Integration:
R: 25 minutes
G: 25 minutes
B: 24 minutes

Bortle 8 w/ moon

Telescope: TPO RC8 (reduced to 0.78x at f/6.26)
Camera: Player One Ares-M Pro
Filters: Antlia LRGB-V Pro
