Dalia and Antoine, I have a question about your excellent book, "The Messier Catalog Workbook." Under the discussion of the globular cluster M13, you stated that this is a great target for "beginner-grade DSLR cameras." Can you please explain what your definition of "beginner-grade" camera is? I have a Canon EOS Rebel T1i which dates back to 2009, it was given to me for free and has been collecting dust for years (not literally). I suspect it's not a great camera but I recently thought it might be good enough to get started with astrophotography, so I am going to try to use it. But I wonder if this camera falls into this category of beginner-grade? Thanks!

Hello,
Yes you can definitely use this camera. We started with the T3i, and although the T1i is older, it is still an okay camera to begin with.
A beginner-grade camera is pretty much any DSLR camera that you can get your hands on, as long as you can control the exposure time, you can image deep sky objects!
M13 is bright and is an easy target for such cameras :)
Good luck!
