M13 - Great Globular Cluster in Hercules

This was first light for my TS80, on the longest day of the year!  A full moon and high cloud didn't help either, but I manage to capture 5 lights and a set of darks to create the image below.

M13 - Crop

Despite spending a while trying to improve focus, the result looks a little soft.  I think the high cloud was a factor with this however, so I'm not getting downhearted!  There's some elongation of stars towards the edge of the full frame as I don't have a field flattener.
