Quick and dirty M15

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

This started out as a test image but seemed to work out okay even though the data is a bit thin. Given that I live at the southern end of Canberra I don't often venture into the north because the further north I go the worse the light pollution becomes but M15 was in a reasonable position so I thought I would have a go not having imaged it for many years. M15 is one of the globular clusters that contains a planetary nebula (Pease 1) located just above the centre but virtually impossible to see in this image.

Cheers

Steve

Looks great Steve. As Mike pointed out lovely colors.

Scratch that last reply - I'm having a bad day. The URL should be:

Thanks Marc. I always try and emphasize globular star colours.

I really like the dynamic colours and brightness range of this one. Tame the noise just a tad more and I suspect it will go to the next level

Nice one.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Lovely. The half dozen brightest field stars add greatly to the image, and make M55 a bit special.

Thanks M&T. It's actually M15 though.

Thanks Peter. I worked hard at noise reduction on this one. Basically I just needed more data. All my best globular shots have far more data than ths.

That one pops Steve. Great resolution and colour.

Very nice, Steve! A good catch despite the limited data and light pollution.

Thanks Colin. It certainly turned out better than I expected.

Thanks Rick. I might go back and get some more data when the moon goes away.

A great looking M15 Steve.


Sharp, detailed and nice colour.

Thanks Ross. It's still a bit noisy so I'll probably go back and get some more data when the moon goes away.
