M13 and starcolors new
      #1967479 - 11/07/07 04:58 AM

Hi alls,

last summer I´ve made a shot of M13. Generally, a scan of a print serves as a template to show here in this forum.

Nowadays, I made some negative-scans with a new software, vuescan. It is an old version but the results are stunning:

M13 new

For comparison the print:

M 13 old

The resolution of the negativ-scan is better and especially star colors come out well.

Hardware was a conventional HP Scanjet 4010.

Hope you enjoy!

Ralf, I see what you mean, although the "ancientness" of the image is enhanced by the more-golden-than-usual star colors. the orangey-red star color of the one companion is quite perfect, and all this topped off with NGC 6207 at the bottom left !

Good Seeing!

Thank you Mark!

You´re right, it´s a little bit too yellow...

By the way, if you risk a sharp look, you´ll detect another dim galaxy, IC 4617.

I´ve marked it in this photo:

M13 with IC 4617

Hope to repeat this shot next year with my 12".

Thanks Ralf, I did scrutinize for IC 4617, but clearly your eyes are sharper than mine !!

I do not think so... I´ve just push up brightness-level to see it better..
