Messier 13 or M13 cluster not in the game

[Dibble]

Hi prob a daft question
but 25,000 Light years out towards Vega which is 185.42LY. I cant find this system.
M13 or Messier 13

Its has 100,000 stars orbiting in that direction so must be in our solar system. Nor can find Hercules, Lyra, cygnus,

M13 is a very large cluster of stars, it is not part of the Milky Way per se. It resides outside the Milky Way, orbiting it, so I wouldn't expect it to be simulated. I think the only object outside the Milky Way visible in ED is the Andromeda galaxy, although I can't confirm that's what we see in so many ED images.


I did some checking and yes, you can see the Andromeda galaxy from within ED, along with 4 other visible galaxies.

Not checked the others, but Cygnus is certainly there. Assuming you mean Cygnus X-1 (the black hole) rather than the constellation (which is a 2-d projection from the pov of a person standing on Earth). Visit V1357 Cygni (iirc), you'll find a supergiant with a cute lil black hole orbiting it. No accretion disc though.

Thanks for your replies I wasn't sure it was part of our galaxy.
Plenty of star systems to visit.
I am saving up to buy a good telescope to look at our night sky. o7
