After I got my polar alignment done with the PoleAlign camera, I wanted to check the roundness of stars out to 10 minute exposures. So to not waste time on one star, I put it on M13 and shot about an hour worth of data. It turns out this this resulted in one of the best M13 pictures that I have taken. I will include a close up and a wider field versions. In the wider field version, you can see in the background two galaxies and in the close up only one galaxies.
