M15 / NGC7078

Sedro-Woolley, Wa.

This globular cluster located in the constillation Pegasus is about 33,000 light years away.
It has been a while since I have mounted up my old C-8 orange tube, but after it stabilized a bit I can't gripe about the results too much.
Only managed to get four 5 minute exposures before the clouds moved in.
Celestial North is up and east is to the bottom.
This image is about 50% of the full frame.

Hutech Clear Filter 40D,Celestron C-8
4 X 5min exposures with darks and bias frames handeled by Nebulosity.
Older MI-250 mount guided with a Borg 77Ach/Starshoot autoguider via PHD guiding. full exif
