HMMT November

Let $\omega = \cos \frac{2\pi}{727} + i \sin \frac{2\pi}{727}$. The imaginary part of the complex number $$ \prod_{k=8}^{13}\left(1+\omega^{3^{k-1}}+\omega^{2 \cdot 3^{k-1}}\right) $$ is equal to $\sin \alpha$ for some angle $\alpha$ between $-\frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\frac{\pi}{2}$, inclusive. Find $\alpha$.
