    My Newest Astrophoto: M13, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules

    With as rare as it is that I get out in the observatory these days, I have been opting for shooting easier targets so that I can shoot more objects in an evening than spending most of the evening shooting a single galaxy or nebula.  Some of the easiest things to shoot are globular clusters…
