A few images from Lauder, New Zealand...
At NIWA atmospheric station in Lauder, New Zealand, has built brand new dome for the BOOTES telescope. Meantime a few amazing sky views had offered me to capture some shots.

What Lies at the Center of the Hercules Cluster?

Copyright: Tony Licata - I discovered this curious asterism at the center of the gravitational curiosity M13.
What could be more fitting than to see this portrait of the father of modern gravitational science? Has anyone ever noticed it before?
