DescriptionM13 is the classic globular cluster in the northern hemisphere, and one of the first objects I ever imaged. What I didn't know was that there is a 3-bladed propeller hiding in it... easy to blow out if you're not careful. Do you see it? If not, I make it obvious in the second gallery image. Flip back and forth to the 1st gallery image. It's there.
