M13
The lovely globular M13 has been described as looking like sugar spilled on a black table cloth. This is a single 30 second exposure on the 14 inch with CanonXTi. The bad news--this was the last pic i took before the 14 inch scope started to have RA drive problems. I have a feeling I might have an expensive shipping bill coming up, as well as some weeks of waiting for the scope to be fixed. I should know more tomorrow.
