I think this is M15

I was looking for that comet last week and this was on the edge of the trees so I think the comet was hidden.
There's only two 3 min subs here so I reckon it looks quite well.
If anyone can confirm that, as my text book pics of it are very small

This is a crop of M15 from my comet image last week.
Your image is missing those brighter stars close by.

Ah right thanks JJJ
I wonder what it is then!!!

Jen the only other bright GC close by that position is M2 in Aquarius.

You can compare it to M15

Sorry it dos not look lick M15 to me, it may be NGC 7006 or NGC 6934 both are near by.

astrometry.net can't solve it. Is that the full frame? At F/10 a LX90+450d should give about 37x25 arcmin.

It does look a bit more like the DSS image of M2 than M15, but that is from 1982 and 29 years of proper motion will have affected the fields stars.

Nicely done. Resolved the stars to the core.

I tried imaging it the other day but I think the comet had already moved out of the frame.

Very nicely resolved.
