Very nicely done! Was just reading the comments, you can tell all of us astro-geeks who recognized this as M13 LOL!

I would love to have a Tak mount, I have an Astro-Physics refractor but the clock drive on my mount doesn't work!!

Again, a great effort

Truly amazing how many stars are in the sky. There is a statement by some astronomer at some time that if you point any direction to the night sky, if you follow a direct line from that you will eventually reach a star (even in we can't see it from earth). For the universe is so expansive, that there is an infinite possibility of that line hitting a star.
I like this, especially that you've captured this cluster so well, but I'd rather have the focal point off center.

Somebody's got a very nice 10" telescope! M13 I'm guessing. I doubt this will be appreciated by the dpc crowd for this amazing resolution, but I appreciate it, very very well done.

Love the dramatic colors and the tiny yet perfectly identifiable silhouette.

Dramatic picture in warm and nice colours. The darkness in the middle makes the sun and the boat stand out from the picture. Excellent camera work.

The centering of the subject really doesn't work for me here. It doesn't need that position to draw interest and it removes focus from any other less bright, but interesting, patterns in the sky.

Beautiful capture of perfect solitude. Just wish there was a bit more space above the sun.

Probably the best astronomy image in the challenge. (8)

Shame there's not more sun in the photo... or more border above it I mean. So close
