M15 in Pegasus

This is a new image of globular cluster M15 in Pegasus. It is different from the other image of M15 displayed in Star Clusters in that this image was taken with the Starizona Large Field reducer/corrector. The core of M15 is very bright and difficult to resolve into individual stars. The goal of this image was to resolve the cluster down to the core. It also shows more peripheral stars than the other image. M15 lies 32,000 light-years from Earth.

Exposures: L:R:G:B=120:60:60:60 minutes= 5 hours total exposure.

This image was published in the July, 2020 issue of Astronomy magazine.
