M13
This is a 540 minute LRGB image of M13. This is my first full color deep sky image in quite some time. I used both 30 minute and 15 minute subframes. I also binned the color data 2x2.

This is the best shot of M13 I've ever seen (and I've seen hundreds). This is the first I've seen where you can see /hundreds/ of unknown, unnamed galaxies in between the stars of the globular. Those have to be fainter than 20th mag in some cases. Maybe much fainter. Congrats. I'd say you might talk to some professional about studying these previously unknown galaxies. I doubt you'd find many other images that would show them and the pros typically overlook such well-known objects as M13 so likely haven't noticed these galaxies.
