Orion 6" F/5 Newtonian on a Skyview Pro mount. Camera: DSI Pro 2

Description

While taking images on a road trip away from my backyard observatory I used my travel equipment to obtain this image of M13. I was actually waiting for a cloud bank to move in the southern sky to image some ojects there as a clear hole stayed in place in the area of M13. I got 15 min. of L, and 10 minutes each on RGB to complete the image. Some times you just have to take what the sky will give up.
