Detailed Observing Notes: Nice wide field view of M13 including the two neighboring ~6th magnitude stars (SAO 65508 and 65481) - the former actually exhibits some orangish tone in the view. M13 appears symmetrically round and pretty even in illumination, no striking brightening as at the core which was a little unexpected and possibly due to small aperture. Size is about 4' and there is no resolution, even with averted vision. Very nice object even if only 80mm of aperture in play..
