[4K, Relaxing] Image Processing of Great Globular Cluster in Hercules by Siril and Photos

One year since I stepped into deep sky imaging. Here is the progress/celebration. Same deep sky target, same location, similar sampling. One can see the difference between each other. This is not only attributed to the upgraded tracking system but also the processing techniques.

M13 is the first deep sky object that I captured using stacking technique, due to its relative large size and appearance brightness. M13 is a star cluster span of ~150 light years, and is one of ~150 of Globular clusters rotating around the milky way galaxy.

Please enjoy this uncut video for image processing by Siril and Photos.
