The constellation of Hercules lies between Lyra and Corona Borealis and is most recognisable by the 'Keystone' at the centre. It contains few deep sky objects but is noted for the fine globular cluster M13. In the photograph the keystone is bottom centre, with M13 visible about two thirds of the way along the lower side.
