The Great (and wonderful) Globular Cluster in the constellation Hercules (M13) with a hint of the spiral galaxy NGC 6207 at the top. Last night was my first night out with the William Optics ZenithStar 61, and as I expected, it’s just a brilliant little refractor. Paired with the ZWO ASI071MC cooled camera and the WO 0.8x Flat/Reducer F6-A, you get a spectacular 4.7° × 3.1° field of view–that’s a big chunk of the sky. If you’re looking for a pretty fast widefield apochromatic, this is it. It’s not the best choice for the Hercules cluster, but I was just slewing all over the sky, waiting for the North America Nebula to get above 30 degrees.
