M13 - Hercules Globular Cluster
This weekend I had Leif visiting me in Linköping, so after a very nice day travelling around and visiting different locations in Östergötland (the place of where Linköping is located) we went to Landeryds observatory. Even though we knew it would never turn dark (as Swedish summers are very bright, at this time and location the sun barely goes beneath the horizon) we tried to do some astrophotography. This was the first time we tried the DSI-Pro. The result we think went out pretty OK considering we only had about one-two hours of "not so dark" sky. At least now we know the camera works!
