Finally, some clear skies again and no moonlight pollution. Pleased with this re-visit to M13 – a globular cluster of stars some 11 billion years old. There are an estimated 300,000 stars packed together in this swarm. This cluster is bright enough to see as a fuzzy patch with binoculars in the ‘keystone’ of Hercules, is high overhead in the summer months. Down and right from the bright orange star a tiny faint galaxy can also be seen.
