Dear Friends,
One of the most stunning globular clusters visible from northern
latitudes is M13 in Hercules and which is currently well-placed right
now for observation and imaging.
For an image of M13 based on two-hours total exposure, please see
http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-6205.htm ... please make sure you
click on the hyperlinked image to load the same image but with much
better image scale.
Weather permitting this evening, I will pursue M92 also in Hercules and
also an impressive globular on its own.
Clear skies!
Anthony.

The constellational Ra/Dec system makes your celestial peep show a
cinch but if you want something more optically challenging based on
telescopes with photo -adapters may I suggest this site -
http://www.at-infocus.co.uk/choosing_scopes.html
Tell me all about the analemma at the polar axis,my goodness,the Earth
must have some variable tilt to produce that one or the analemma at
the Equator where there is no variations in daylight/darkness
throughout the annual orbit of the Earth
http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Solar-Analemma.htm
The analemma is indeed a phenomenon but not in the way you think for
it most certainly highlights the utter stupidity to which humans can
descend and indeed borders on sub-human.Again,why don't you take up
birdwatching where you can do no harm.

Climatology is based on the motrions of the Earth and the relationship
between axial/orbital motions and orientations over the course of an
annual orbit.Because you astrological freaks introduce a variable
axial tilt component ,otherwise known as the analemma,in order to try
and explain away the Equation of Time,it means that humans are working
off the wrong set of principles for climate studies.
http://mstecker.com/images/app/solar-analemma-060000-utc-master_f.jpg
http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answers/980116c.html
It is not bad enough that your astrological/magnification doctrines
destrroyed the careful work of the heliocentric and timekeeping
astronomers,your constellational framework makes it impossible to
explain global climate and hemispherical weather patterns (seasons)
using the relationship between axial and orbital motions.
You want your stupid late 17th century analemma creation and your
variable tilting Earth,I assure you the price for the rest of humanity
is enormous.

Yes, Oriel,
Stop cherrypicking Kepler and get into the depths of his
heuristic. Get yourself a scientific calculator and discover
for yourself what the really means:
E = M + e sin E
It will take you right back to Plato and the inevitable
relationship between "psyche" (soul) and "analogia"
(proportion) which Jakob Klein declares that Plato used
interchangeably in `Timaeus' ! (The guys at JPL militate
against using Kepler's formula for the planets but it works
very well for comets.)
When I first began to study Kepler I wondered if he had
been reading `Timaeus'. After being presented with a copy
`Harmonice Mundi' I wonder if he didn't have the whole
dialog memorized (in goodly Attic Greek).
Loosen up - some people still think you're a bot.

Telescopes and those who use them are in astronomical terms only new
kids on the block for almost all the great astronomical insights were
made before telescopes appeared.It is a great comfort to hear it from
Kepler the different sections of astronomy before the celestial sphere
hobbiests arrived -
"To set down in books the apparent paths of the planets
[viasplanetarum apparentes] and the record of their motions is
especially the task of the practical and mechanical part of astronomy;
to discover their true and genuine path [vias vero veras et genuinas]
is . . .the task of contemplative astronomy; while to say by what
circle and lines correct images of those true motions may be depicted
on paper is the concern of the inferior tribunal of geometers" Kepler
This era of photography is yours but how many images of the same
thing can people stand.The fact that this is all you lot believe
astronomy to be makes the dark ages of astronomy.

ROTFL! This from one of the most boring and repetitious dullards on s.a.a.
It's always nice to see what the best astrophotographers are doing with old,
familiar favorites.
Perhaps it is time to put some new vitality into your story line. It's been

Your mockery blows back in your face for you all are astrologers
with telescopes and cameras.
I would never have believed that every single person here is a sub-
geocentric astrologer who detests the genuine Western astronomical
jewels represented by Copernican heliocentricity and the adaption of
the Equation of Time system which gives us the 24 hour/360 deg
correlation between the axial cycle and clocks.
The big institutions disgrace themselves before the careful work of so
many,many great structural and timekeeping astronomers by adopting
correlations that cannot support heliocentric reasoning -
http://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/JennyChen.shtml
My task indeed, ! you feel nothing as is your condition yet I bear the
responsibility of overturning centuries of indulgences by people who
have no regard for human achievement even with the original texts in
front of them.You do not mock me ,you mock
Huiygens,Copernicus,Harrsion,the careful pre-heliocentric observers
who plotted the position of celestial objects,the astronomical
timekeepers and their pragmatic systems and for what !.
It is not your presence with your stupid 17th century analemma
creation that is the difficult part,it is the absence of genuine
people who recognise just how gorgeous the actual thinking behind the
clock/axial cycle correlation and Copernican reasoning actually is.

Wow, a spectacular image. Well done. However, having said that, I would
like to point out that because the image is so spectacular in that the stars
are so well resolved, I think that the image doesn't capture the beautiful
larger structure that my sons and I so enjoy when observing this globular in
smallish scopes. If it was most any other globular, I would say that the
image presents a view that far, far exceeds anything I have seen through the
eyepiece - but not M13. I hope you don't take any offence at my comment,
which is based on aesthetics only.

Dennis, thank you for your comments. I have observed M13 using a C14 and
high magnification and it proves to be an outstanding object. I can also
understand and appreciate your comments surrounding the use of smaller
scopes where the globular would stand out against an "empty" sky.

I think this speaks to the interesting fact that there are great targets for
every aperture, from 1x naked eye on up. I think the Beehive is a great
naked eye object, and always disappoints me when viewed in a scope. M27,
M11, M13 and M37 for instance are great small scope targets, and I think
that too much aperture changes my appreciation of them. I don't mean only
framing, though that is often a factor. Rather, greater aperture (or
astrophotography) changes the view by allowing the fainter stuff to affect
the shape/balance/aesthetics, and I for one do not always find the brigher,
more detailed view to be better. To me, M11 in a 6" f/8 will always be a
favorite, and the tendrils of M13 in an 6", 8" or 10" are worth more than
resolving it to the core.

I remember a few months ago looking at the Perseus Double using my 6" AP
refractor and it was absolutely stunning ... literally like diamonds
spread across the sky. Similarly, M57 in my C14 on each and every
occasion has always been stunning.
I think it is a question of personal tastes, the target itself, seeing
conditions etc. Either way, the sky is way too rich for it not to meet
someone's expectations or interest.

I was planning for M23 and M92 for this evening. However, I will look
into M22 and which is on the schedule anyway due to the fact I would
like to capture as many globulars as possible given they are seasonal
and prime right now.

I guess your astrological framework can join your variable tilting
Earth analemma.Any chance of you lot taking up birdwatching where you
can do less damage and still enjoy yourselves.

I have just the task for you and your intellect ... count all the stars
in the photo. I realize you may have problems once you get into double
digits but use match-sticks.

Stunning, Anthony. Stunning. You've captured the most sharply-defined
stars I've ever seen in an image of M13 - and right to the core, too. Just
beautiful! I look forward to your image of M92 (sometimes my favorite
globular) with great anticipation.
Clear Dark Steady Skies,
Dave Jessie
