It's been a while since I have posted any new images. Last night I finally figured out what was going on with my main imaging camera (modified Canon 350d) and got everything working correctly. I did a quick search and found that M13 was high in the sky and just past the median. So I pointed the scope and took 10 images at 2 minute exposures. I stacked them using Deep Sky Stacker with my OLD darks and flats (over 2 years old!) Here's the results.
