Get as large telescope as you can afford, space and use it often! Set up 6", 10" and 16" and all view on M13 at the same time.....you can see all M13 is no problem but 16" is better for sharp details and million pinpoint stars! Take care of your telescope, keep mirror or len stay clean and good brand name of eyepiece......dark sky.....you can see lot more deep sky objects...all M, and throsands of NGC! -------------------- Astronomer since 1975!
