A quick M15

Here is my quick M15 taken this evening.

I just need to improve my processing skills.

M15 is about 33,600 light-years from Earth, and 175 light years in diameter. It has an absolute magnitude of -9.2, which translates to a total luminosity of 360,000 times that of the Sun. Messier 15 is one of the most densely packed globulars known in the Milky Way galaxy. Its core has undergone a contraction known as 'core collapse' and it has a central density cusp with an enormous number of stars surrounding what may be a central black hole.^[10]

Home to over 100,000 stars, the cluster is notable for containing a large number of variable stars (112) and pulsars(8), including one double neutron star system, M15 C. M15 also contains Pease 1, the first planetary nebula discovered within a globular cluster in 1928. Just three others have been found in globular clusters since then

Again it seems that my dss stacking may have been wrong when it came to saving the image so I might be able to get a bit more out of this.

Still nice images. Thanks for posting.
