Here is my sketch of M15 that I did around the last new moon. Through the eyepiece I noticed a distinct blue colour to the object. I wasn't sure if it was the atmosphere but it was something I noticed observing this glob at the recent QLD Astrofest. I have also thought that this could be an optical illusion with the bright nearby star. Has anyone else noted this apparent blue hue to this glob?
